GMZ001-311930- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 317 AM EDT Tue May 31 2022 .SYNOPSIS...High pressure extending from the western Atlantic to across the central Gulf will maintain moderate to fresh SE winds over the western and central Gulf and mainly gentle SE winds elsewhere through the period. Fresh to strong southeast winds offshore Veracruz will diminish by early this afternoon. A large area of low pressure is expected to develop near the Yucatan Peninsula and northwestern Caribbean Sea by mid-week. This system could become a tropical depression while it moves northeastward across the northwestern Caribbean Sea and southeastern Gulf of Mexico late this week. There is uncertainty with this expected system, however, shower and thunderstorm activity as well as winds will be on the increase for some areas of the southern and central Gulf going into the upcoming weekend. $$ GMZ040-311930- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 317 AM EDT Tue May 31 2022 .TODAY...E to SE winds 10 to 15 kt.
