GMZ001-211345- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 934 PM EDT Sat Apr 20 2024 .SYNOPSIS...High pressure extending across the basin from the western Atlantic will begin to shift eastward tonight as a rather weak cold front approaches the NW Gulf coast. Winds will generally remain at gentle to moderate speeds throughout tonight into early Sun. Winds will pulse fresh to strong this evening near the northern Yucatan Peninsula. The cold front is forecast to move into the NW Gulf late tonight into early Sun, then reach the southeastern Gulf Mon evening as it weakens. Fresh to locally strong winds and building seas will follow the front through Sun night, with fresh to strong winds persisting near Veracruz through Mon evening. High pressure will again settle over the region by Tue and change little through Thu night. The pressure gradient between the high pressure and lower pressure over the southern Plains is expected to increase SE winds in the western Gulf starting on Thu. $$ GMZ040-211345- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 934 PM EDT Sat Apr 20 2024 .OVERNIGHT...SE winds 10 kt.
