GMZ001-100900- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 452 PM EDT Sun Oct 9 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A weak cold front is starting to stall near Sarasota, Florida to 25N87W where it transitions to a cold front, which tail reaches NW to Baffin Bay in Texas. The western half of the front will weaken and dissipate tonight as the eastern portion stalls across the southeast Gulf on Mon after merging with a leading stationary front that is transitioning to a warm front this evening. The front will then lift north Tue while dissipating. Expect mainly moderat to fresh NE winds across much of the basin through late Tue as the pressure gradient tightens between high pressure across the Gulf region and lower pressure across the Pacific offshores waters. Otherwise, fresh to strong NW winds and moderate to rough seas will persist over the far southwest Gulf off the coast of Veracruz, Mexico through Tue. $$ GMZ040-100900- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 452 PM EDT Sun Oct 9 2022 .TONIGHT...NE to E winds 15 to 20 kt.
