GMZ001-241530- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1117 PM EDT Sat Mar 23 2024 .SYNOPSIS...A cold front has moved SE into the NW Caribbean, while a reinforcing secondary front extends from SW Florida to the northern Yucatan. The second front will also move SE of the basin overnight. Fresh to strong northerly winds will prevail E of 90W through morning before diminishing. 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 early Mon night. Fresh to strong N winds are briefly expected Tue behind the front over the W and SW Gulf. The front will slow and weaken mid- week from the Florida Big Bend to near Veracruz, Mexico. $$ GMZ040-241530- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1117 PM EDT Sat Mar 23 2024 .OVERNIGHT...E winds 15 to 20 kt.
