GMZ001-160215- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 903 AM EST Tue Nov 15 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from the coast of Mississippi to Tampico, Mexico will reach from Tampa Bay, Florida near 28N83W to the central Bay of Campeche by Wed morning. The front will reach the SE Gulf on Thu morning. Showers and thunderstorms will continue through today over the NE Gulf. Fresh to strong northerly winds will follow the front with a area of gale force winds near Veracruz, Mexico this evening into tonight. By Wed, strong high pressure will build over Texas, tightening the gradient across the Gulf region. As a result, expect increasing winds and building seas across the basin, with gale force winds over the SW Gulf, including the Veracruz area, from late Wed through Thu night. Very rough seas will build over the SW Gulf by late Thu. Strong to near gale force winds will persist in the SW Gulf through Fri before the next cold front enters the NW Gulf by Sat. $$ GMZ040-160215- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 903 AM EST Tue Nov 15 2022 .TODAY...N winds 20 kt in the afternoon.
