000 FZNT24 KNHC 221515 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1115 AM EDT Sun May 22 2022 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-230315- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1115 AM EDT Sun May 22 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A line of thunderstorms persists over the central Gulf early this morning, associated with an upper disturbance over the region. Strong winds are being produced by this activity. This activity is expected to gradually diminish through today. A line of numerous thunderstorms, with strong gusty winds and frequent lightning, is racing east across the NW Gulf. This activity will likely reach the western half of the central Gulf early this afternoon. Fresh to strong southeast winds and rough seas are ongoing elsewhere from the south-central Gulf to the northwest Gulf, between a strong ridge over the western Atlantic and lower pressure over southern Mexico. Winds and seas will diminish into Mon as the low pressure weakens, except for pulses off fresh to strong winds off the north coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, mainly at night. Looking ahead, a ridge will build from westward from the western Atlantic across the northern Gulf through mid-week. The associated gradient between the ridge and low pressure with a cold front west of the area will support fresh southeast return flow over the western Gulf Tue through late Wed. The cold front is expected to move into the western Gulf on Thu followed by gentle to moderate north to northeast winds. $$ GMZ040-230315- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1115 AM EDT Sun May 22 2022 .TODAY...E winds 10 to 15 kt.
