GMZ001-210315- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1009 AM EST Sun Nov 20 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from the Florida Keys to 25N87W to 1013 mb low pressure near 24N92W with a cold front extending from the low to the SW Gulf near 19N91.5W. These features are combining with strong 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 accompany 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 will move across the basin Thu through the end of the week. $$ GMZ040-210315- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1009 AM EST Sun Nov 20 2022 .TODAY...NE winds 20 to 25 kt in the afternoon.
