GMZ001-182000- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 250 AM EST Fri Nov 18 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from just south of the Yucatan Channel to across the northern Yucatan Peninsula to 1017 mb low pres in the SW Gulf near 21N95.5W. A trough extends from the low to the Mexico Texas border and along the Texas coastal waters. The stationary front will dissipate to a sharp trough later today. Gale force winds within 120 nm of Veracruz Mexico will diminish in the next few hours, with fresh to strong winds elsewhere in the SW Gulf and from 22N to 26N. The surface trough and low will linger over the weekend. The gradient between this 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. Conditions should gradually improve early next week. $$ GMZ040-182000- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 250 AM EST Fri Nov 18 2022 ...GALE WARNING... .TODAY...NE to E winds 20 kt.
