Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-231345- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 915 PM EDT Sun Oct 22 2017 .SYNOPSIS...A trough from near Pensacola Florida to a 1013 mb low at 27N88W extends SW to just E of northeastern Mexico. The trough and low will drift eastward through Monday as a cold front presently from southeastern Louisiana to just S of Brownsville Texas quickly moves across the NW and N central waters. The cold front will reach the far SE Gulf early on Wednesday and to the NW Caribbean Sea Wednesday night. Winds behind the front are expected to reach gale force near Veracruz Mexico from midday on Monday to Wednesday night. Strong high pressure in the wake of the front will bring fresh to strong northerly winds over much of forecast waters Wednesday afternoon, then diminish through Thursday afternoon as the high center shifts to the NE Gulf. The high will weaken on Friday as another cold front moves across eastern Texas, and into the NW Gulf on Friday night. $$ GMZ011-231345- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 915 PM EDT Sun Oct 22 2017 .OVERNIGHT...N to NE winds 15 to 20 kt.
