Broad low pressure will form the north-central Gulf early Fri and induce a moderate to locally fresh southerly return flow across the eastern half of the basin Fri night into Sat night. Looking ahead, winds and seas will diminish through Sun as the trough weakens and shifts west ahead of high pressure building over the northeast Gulf. $$ GMZ040-082015- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 405 AM EDT Thu Sep 8 2022 .TODAY...N to NE winds 10 kt.
