GMZ001-150145- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 840 AM EST Thu Dec 14 2023 .SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure building across the eastern United States will support fresh to strong winds over the northern and eastern Gulf of Mexico today. These winds will increase to gale force over portions of the NE Gulf tonight and Friday. Low pressure will form in the SW Gulf by Fri night then move NE and into Florida Sat night into Sun. This will cause additional gales in the NE Gulf. A cold front will trail from the low, exiting the Gulf early on Sun. Expect widespread showers and thunderstorms over most of the central and eastern Gulf through early Sun. Fresh to strong north winds will spill into the western Gulf Sat and Sat night behind the front. High pressure will then settle in over the area through early next week allowing for marine conditions to improve. $$ GMZ040-150145- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 840 AM EST Thu Dec 14 2023 .TODAY...E winds 20 to 25 kt.
