Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-181500- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1050 PM EDT Wed Aug 17 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A 1016 mb high pressure centered over the N central Gulf near 27N91W will drift ESE to the north-central Gulf before dissipating tonight. A stalled front along southern Georgia and Alabama will linger in this area through Thu, supporting scattered showers and tstms in the NE basin through Thu night and moderate SW to W winds through tonight. Otherwise, a tropical wave over the northwestern Caribbean Sea is forecast to move across Central America and the Yucatan Peninsula through Thu night, and emerge over the Bay of Campeche, where an area of low pressure could form on Friday. Some gradual development of this system is possible while it moves NW over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico through the weekend. Regardless of development, moderate to fresh winds are expected across the SW and west-central gulf Thu through Sat night. $$ GMZ040-181500- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1050 PM EDT Wed Aug 17 2022 .OVERNIGHT...S winds 10 kt.
