GMZ001-140815- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 301 PM EST Sat Jan 13 2024 .SYNOPSIS...A cold front from Chokoloskee, Florida to near Cancun, Mexico will stall over the Yucatan Channel Sun. Winds and seas over northeast Gulf are diminishing, but increasing across the southeast Gulf Sun as high pressure builds north of the front as it stalls over the Yucatan Channel. The boundary will lift north as a dissipating warm front over the eastern Gulf Mon. Meanwhile, another front will stall along the northern Gulf from the Florida Big Bend to south Texas Sat and Sun. Weak low pressure will form along the front over northeast Mexico Mon. Looking ahead, strong northerly winds and rough seas will follow a cold front moving across the Gulf late Tue through Wed, as the low pressure moves to the northeast of the region. Winds may reach gale force over the far west- central and southwest Gulf along the coast of Mexico Tue and Tue night as the front moves south. $$ GMZ040-140815- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 301 PM EST Sat Jan 13 2024 .TONIGHT...SE winds 10 kt.
