Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-011515- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1003 PM EST Tue Feb 28 2023 .SYNOPSIS...A ridge will continue to dominate the Gulf waters through Wed night. Expect southerly winds, gentle to moderate for the eastern Gulf, and moderate to occasional fresh over the western Gulf. This moist southerly flow will continue to favor the development of marine fog across the northern Gulf during night and early morning hours. Fresh to locally strong winds will pulse tonight and Wed night near and northwest of the Yucatan Peninsula due to a thermal trough. Southerly flow will increase and reach fresh to strong by Thu ahead of a cold front forecast to move eastward across the Gulf late Thu night and Fri. These winds could reach near-gale force across the northern Gulf. Both winds and seas should gradually subside across the Gulf this weekend. $$ GMZ040-011515- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1003 PM EST Tue Feb 28 2023 .OVERNIGHT...SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt.
