Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-061515- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1014 PM EST Tue Dec 5 2023 .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from Cape Sable, Florida near 25N81W to north of the Yucatan Peninsula near 22.5N88W, and it continues as a stationary front from there to the south-central Bay of Campeche near 19N94W. The front will move SE and enter the NW Caribbean on Wed, accompanied by fresh to strong winds. Fresh to strong northerly winds are expected to persist along the coast near Veracruz, Mexico through Wed. Strong NE winds will expand across the Bay of Campeche Wed before diminishing Wed night. High pressure behind the front will shift E into the Atlantic Thu night, inducing moderate to fresh return flow across most of the basin Fri through Sat, ahead of the next cold front that is forecast to enter the NW Gulf Sat evening. Strong to near-gale force winds are likely behind the front, with gale force winds possible in the SW Gulf. $$ GMZ040-061515- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1014 PM EST Tue Dec 5 2023 .OVERNIGHT...NE winds 10 to 15 kt.
