Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-232130- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 516 AM EDT Sat Mar 23 2024 .SYNOPSIS...A broad area of deep-layered low pressure across the north central and northeast Gulf will move NE across northern Florida and the SE U.S. today. A trailing cold front extends the Florida Bug Bend to near Tampico, Mexico, and will exit the basin to the SE by this evening. Fresh to strong northerly winds will spill across the basin well behind the front today. High pressure in the wake of the front will quickly shift eastward late Sat night through Sun night, allowing for fresh to strong southerly winds to develop over the western Gulf Sun, ahead of the next cold front. Strong southerly winds will then shift to the central and eastern Gulf early Mon through Mon night as the new cold front enters the western Gulf Mon night. Fresh to strong N winds are briefly expected Tue behind the front over the W Gulf of Mexico. The front will slow and weaken mid-week from the Florida Big Bend to near Veracruz, Mexico. $$ GMZ040-232130- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 516 AM EDT Sat Mar 23 2024 .TODAY...N to NE winds 20 to 25 kt, diminishing to 10 to 15 kt in the afternoon.
