Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-210330- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1122 AM EDT Sun Aug 20 2023 .SYNOPSIS...A surface ridge over the Gulf waters will support mostly gentle to moderate winds and slight seas across most of the basin today. Moderate to fresh winds are noted in the eastern Gulf due to a trough extending across the region. Looking ahead, an area of disturbed weather located in the far eastern Gulf of Mexico is expected to lead to the formation of a broad area of low pressure early this week. Some slow development of this system could occur thereafter as it moves westward at about 15 to 20 kt, and a tropical depression could form as it approaches the western Gulf of Mexico coastline by Tuesday. This system has a low chance of development in 48 hours and a medium chance in 7 days. $$ GMZ040-210330- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1122 AM EDT Sun Aug 20 2023 .TODAY...Variable winds less than 5 kt, becoming NE 10 kt in the afternoon.
