Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-180915- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 401 PM EST Thu Nov 17 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from the Straits of Florida to the N coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, and continues as a stationary front to the central Bay of Campeche. The cold front will stall across the Yucatan Channel this evening. The stationary portion will become a sharp surface trough over the SW Gulf on Fri. Gale force NW winds will continue within about 120 nm of the Mexican coast near Veracruz through tonight while strong winds prevail elsewhere over the SW Gulf. The surface trough will extend from the SW Gulf to the NW Gulf over the weekend while possible low pres forms along the trough. The gradient between this possible low pres and high pres across the south-central U.S. will produce strong to gale force winds across much of the Gulf of Mexico late Sat through Sun night. $$ GMZ040-180915- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 401 PM EST Thu Nov 17 2022 ...GALE CONDITIONS POSSIBLE SAT THROUGH SAT NIGHT... .TONIGHT...NE winds 20 to 25 kt.
