GMZ001-251500- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1054 PM EDT Wed May 24 2023 .SYNOPSIS...A weakening front extends across the northern Gulf will dissipate tonight. Moderate to fresh N to NE winds will prevail E of 90W through Sat morning. Otherwise, weak high pressure will generally dominate the basin through the next several days, supporting gentle to moderate winds. Slight seas will build to moderate through Sat. Popocatepetl Volcano in Mexico near 19N99W remains in a state of unrest and continues to erupt and produce volcanic ash, however the current ash plume is confined inland and over the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Mariners should still exercise caution in the southern Bay of Campeche in case additional, and more northward plumes develop. If mariners encounter volcanic ash or floating volcanic debris, you are encouraged to report the observation to the National Weather Service by calling 305-229-4424. $$ GMZ040-251500- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1054 PM EDT Wed May 24 2023 .OVERNIGHT...S of 27N, NE to E winds 10 kt in the late evening and early morning, becoming variable less than 5 kt.
