GMZ001-280315- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1101 AM EDT Thu Apr 27 2023 .SYNOPSIS...Atlantic high pressure extends weakly across Florida and into the eastern Gulf this morning. A stationary front along the N Gulf coasts has drifted SE across the Texas and Louisiana coastal waters, and will shift slowly SE and reach from the western Florida Panhandle to the central Bay of Campeche by Fri afternoon. Ahead of the front, fresh to locally strong winds will pulse near and north of the Yucatan Peninsula the next few evenings. A strong cold front is forecast to enter the northwestern and west-central Gulf Sat afternoon, then move eastward through early next week. This will result in fresh to strong NW winds, reaching locally near gale-force, across the western Gulf this weekend. Fresh to strong southerly winds are forecast over the eastern Gulf ahead of the front early next week. Hazy conditions generated by agricultural fire in Mexico will linger across the west-central and central Gulf, and Bay of Campeche through Thu. $$ GMZ040-280315- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1101 AM EDT Thu Apr 27 2023 .TODAY...Variable winds less than 5 kt, becoming NW to N 10 kt in the afternoon.
