GMZ001-030300- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1114 AM EDT Tue Apr 2 2024 .SYNOPSIS...High pressure extending westward from the Atlantic across the region will continue to shift eastward today as a late season cold front moves across the western Gulf. The front will reach from the near Apalachicola to the eastern Bay of Campeche early Wed, from South Florida to the northeast Yucatan Peninsula Wed evening and to just southeast of the Gulf early Thu. Northerly winds behind the front are expected to reach gale force offshore Veracruz late tonight into early Wed. Fresh to strong winds and building seas are expected elsewhere west of the front. Scattered showers and thunderstorms, some strong to possibly severe, may impact some sections of the area. 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 through Sat night. $$ GMZ040-030300- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1114 AM EDT Tue Apr 2 2024 .TODAY...S winds 10 kt, shifting to NW in the afternoon.
