GMZ001-291515- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1002 PM EST Wed Dec 28 2022 .SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure ridging over the eastern half of the Gulf is sliding eastward and dissipating tonight. This is allowing for fresh to strong southerly winds to set up in the western Gulf. Winds will diminish by Fri as a weak cold front approaches the NW Gulf coast. Elsewhere, moderate east to southeast winds over the eastern Gulf will become mostly fresh Thu and fresh to strong southeast on Fri. The weak cold front should stall from SE Louisiana to Tampico Mexico late Fri night, then dissipate into Sat night. Gentle to moderate southerly flow will become established over most of the Gulf Sat night and Sun. Looking ahead, fresh to strong SE to S flow could return to the western and central Gulf Sun night. $$ GMZ040-291515- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1002 PM EST Wed Dec 28 2022 .OVERNIGHT...S winds 20 to 25 kt.
