GMZ001-202000- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 250 AM EST Sun Nov 20 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from the Straits of Florida near 24N81W to 1014 mb low pressure near 25N93W with a cold front extending from the low to the SW Gulf near 18N95.5W. These features are combining with high pressure north of the area to support strong to gale force winds north and west of the fronts. Very large seas to around 20 ft are with these winds. The low will weaken to a trough while the front stalls across the southern waters through Mon, with associated gales diminishing by early Mon. Conditions will improve modestly on Mon and then more significantly Tue through Wed. The next cold front may move across the basin Thu through the end of the week. $$ GMZ040-202000- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 250 AM EST Sun Nov 20 2022 .TODAY...NE winds 25 to 35 kt, diminishing to 20 to 30 kt in the late morning.
