Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-091400- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 956 PM EDT Thu Sep 8 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A weak pressure pattern will continue to dominate the Gulf waters through tonight, producing gentle to locally moderate winds and slight seas across the basin. A surface trough extends from the NE Gulf to the SW Gulf. This trough is producing scattered showers and thunderstorms. The trough will migrate NW toward the north-central Gulf early Fri and induce a 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. $$ GMZ040-091400- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 956 PM EDT Thu Sep 8 2022 .OVERNIGHT...N to NE winds 10 kt in the evening, becoming variable less than 5 kt.
