GMZ001-221530- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1128 PM EDT Thu Mar 21 2024 .SYNOPSIS...Developing low pressure along the coast of Texas is forecast to track E-NE from the NW Gulf of Mexico to inland across the southeastern U.S. tonight through Sat. The trailing cold front will reach from SW Louisiana to near Tampico, Mexico Fri morning, from the Florida Panhandle to near Veracruz, Mexico Sat morning, and exit the basin to the SE late Sat afternoon. Strong to near gale-force southerly winds are forecast ahead of the front Fri, with fresh to strong northerly winds behind it. Widespread showers and strong thunderstorms, some potentially severe, are expected E through SE of the low center and the cold front. Mariners should monitor these hazardous marine conditions and adjust your routes accordingly. High pressure in the wake of the front will quickly shift eastward from late Sat night through Sun night, allowing for fresh to strong southerly winds to develop over the western Gulf. These southerly winds will shift to the central and eastern Gulf Mon and Mon night as a cold front moves enters the western Gulf early Tue. $$ GMZ040-221530- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1128 PM EDT Thu Mar 21 2024 .OVERNIGHT...E winds 20 to 25 kt, becoming W 10 kt.
