Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-191530- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1026 PM EST Sun Feb 18 2024 .SYNOPSIS...Low pressure has moved east of the Gulf of Mexico as the cold front also exited the basin. Gale force north winds will prevail just N of the Yucatan Peninsula waters through the next few hours. Strong to near gale force northerly winds are elsewhere northwest of the front and low. Rough to very rough seas are being produced by the strong to gale force winds. The front and low pressure will exit the basin tonight allowing for marine conditions to improve. Rough seas will continue over portions of the southern Gulf of Mexico into early Mon as high pressure settles over the region. Fresh southerly return flow is expected for the western Gulf Wed and Wed night as the high shifts eastward. These winds diminish Thu as a frontal boundary approaches the NW Gulf. $$ GMZ040-191530- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1026 PM EST Sun Feb 18 2024 .OVERNIGHT...N to NE winds 10 kt in the late evening and early morning, becoming variable less than 5 kt.
