GMZ001-182115- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 504 AM EDT Thu Aug 18 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A 1015 mb high pressure centered over the N central Gulf near 27N88W will drift ESE and dissipate tonight. A stalled front along southern Georgia and Alabama will linger in this area through Thu, supporting scattered showers and tstms across the northern coastal waters through Fri. Otherwise, a tropical wave over the northwestern Caribbean Sea is forecast to move across Central America and the Yucatan Peninsula today, and emerge over the Bay of Campeche Thu night, 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 evening through Sat night. $$ GMZ040-182115- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 504 AM EDT Thu Aug 18 2022 .TODAY...S to SW winds 10 kt.
