Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-130830- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 416 PM EDT Fri Aug 12 2022 .SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure extending from the western Atlantic westward along 29N to the N central Gulf will sink southeast through Tue. This will allow for gentle to moderate winds over the basin to weaken to light to gentle into next week. Moderate NE to E winds will pulse to fresh during the late afternoon and evenings off the NW Yucatan peninsula through early next week. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms associated with a low pressure trough and weak low pressure that is along it are over most of the northern Gulf waters. This system will drift west-southwestward over the NW Gulf and toward the Texas coast during the weekend. Development, if any, of this system is expected to be slow to occur. Strong gusty winds and rough seas can be expected with this activity. Meanwhile, a weak frontal boundary is expected to stall just north of the central and NE Gulf during the weekend. $$ GMZ040-130830- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 416 PM EDT Fri Aug 12 2022 .TONIGHT...SE to S winds 10 kt.
