GMZ001-190930- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 419 PM EST Fri Nov 18 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A frontal boundary has stalled across the NW Caribbean. A sharp surface trough extends from the Yucatan Peninsula near 19.5N91W to 1017 mb low pres near 21N95W to extreme S Texas. High pressure to the north of the area is supporting strong winds to the north of the trough to 27N, and to the W of the trough to the Mexican coast. The low and trough will drift N over the weekend. The pressure gradient between this low pres and new high pres across the south-central U.S. will strengthen the winds and produce strong to gale force winds across much of the Gulf of Mexico Sat afternoon through Sun night.
