GMZ001-022000- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 355 AM EDT Tue Apr 2 2024 .SYNOPSIS...Surface ridging from the Atlantic that extends westward across the region will continue to shift eastward today as a cold front moves across eastern Texas. The front will enter the western Gulf later this morning, reach from the Florida panhandle to the Bay of Campeche Wed, then move southeast of the area into Thu. Northerly winds behind the front are expected to reach gale force offshore Veracruz tonight into Wed. Fresh to strong winds and building seas are expected elsewhere west of the front. Winds and seas will decrease Thu through Fri as high pressure builds in the wake of the front. The high pressure will shift eastward through the end of the week allowing for fresh to strong east to southeast winds to develop over the western and central Gulf. $$ GMZ040-022000- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 355 AM EDT Tue Apr 2 2024 .TODAY...Variable winds less than 5 kt, becoming SW to W 10 kt in the afternoon.
