Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-240915- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 412 PM EST Mon Jan 23 2023 .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from South Florida southwestward to 23N87W and to 20N95W will reach from the Straits of Florida to the Yucatan Peninsula this evening before weakening as it exits the basin. High pressure in the wake of the front will slide eastward through late Tue as a low pressure system develops over eastern Texas, and quickly tracks northeastward across the southern U.S while deepening. The low will drag a strong cold front across the Gulf of Mexico late Tue afternoon through Thu. Near gale-force to gale-force southerly winds are expected ahead of the front over the NW and north- central Gulf Tue and Tue night, and gale-force northwest winds are expected over the NW Gulf Tue into early Tue night. Gale-force winds are expected offshore Veracruz Wed in the wake of the front. Similar winds may occur in a small area just northeast of Tampico early Wed. Winds and sea conditions will gradually improve by Fri. Fresh southerly return flow will begin to set-up in the far western Gulf starting Sat in response to the next cold front that will be approaching the NW Gulf. Fresh to strong east winds will surge from the southwestern Atlantic through the Straits of Florida and into the far southeastern Gulf Sat and Sat night. $$ GMZ040-240915- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 412 PM EST Mon Jan 23 2023 ...GALE WARNING... .TONIGHT...E to SE winds 20 to 25 kt.
