Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-240815- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 404 PM EDT Sat Mar 23 2024 .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 29N83W to 22N98W, while the tail end of another front extends across the Straits of Florida along 24N and E of 85W. Both fronts will exit the basin by tonight. Fresh to strong northerly winds will spill across the basin well behind the front through Sun. High pressure in the wake of the front will quickly shift eastward 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. $$ GMZ040-240815- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 404 PM EDT Sat Mar 23 2024 .TONIGHT...NE to E winds 10 kt, shifting to E 15 to 20 kt late.
