Surface high pressure will continue to be centered over Florida during the next few days. A diurnal trough developing over the Yucatan Peninsula during the late afternoons will propagate westward over the Bay of Campeche each night through Sun night. This pattern will lead to gentle to moderate SE winds across the northern and NE Gulf, while moderate to fresh SE winds will continue for the southern and SW Gulf, with locally strong winds during the late afternoon and evening off the NW coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. Looking ahead, a frontal boundary across the Gulf States could cause moderate to fresh southerly winds for the northern Gulf Mon before becoming gentle to moderate on Tue. $$ GMZ040-250315- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1002 AM EST Fri Feb 24 2023 .TODAY...SE winds 10 to 15 kt in the afternoon.
