GMZ001-152130- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 422 AM EST Mon Jan 15 2024 .SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending across the Yucatan Channel will lift north as a dissipating warm front over the eastern Gulf today. Meanwhile, a cold front reaches southwestward from near New Orleans, Louisiana to Brownsville, Texas. It will gradually push southeastward across the Gulf through Tue night. A weak low pressure will form along this front over the central Gulf, and track northeastward. In response, strong to near-gale northerly winds and rough seas will follow this frontal system across the Gulf late tonight through Wed. Winds will reach gale force over the far west-central and southwestern Gulf along the coast of Mexico Tue and Tue night. Looking ahead, another front will enter the northern Gulf Fri and move southward across the Gulf through late Fri night into early Sat morning, followed by fresh to strong northerly winds and moderate to rough seas. $$ GMZ040-152130- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 422 AM EST Mon Jan 15 2024 .TODAY...N to NE winds 10 to 15 kt.
