GMZ001-211500- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1050 PM EDT Sat Oct 20 2018 .SYNOPSIS...A 1015 mb low presure is over the NW Gulf near 27N96W. A stationary from extends from the low to SE Louisiana, then continues NE as a cold front. A trough also extends from the low across the western Gulf to near 19N94W. The cold front will push into the northern Gulf tonight, and sweep across the eastern and central Gulf waters on Sun, and become stationary from S Florida to 26N93W and warm front to a new 1017 mb low at 26N97W on Mon. A cold front will extend from the new low to near Tampico, Mexico. The present 1017 mb low over the NW Gulf will dissipate late tonight over the north-central Gulf. The new Low will lift north- eastward through Mon night, then east-northeastward across the north-central Gulf through Wed night and the NE Gulf Thu, with a front to trail from it to the SW Gulf, and another front from the low eastward across N-central Florida. High pressure will build in the wake of the low and front supporting fresh to strong NE to E winds and building seas. $$ GMZ011-211500- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1050 PM EDT Sat Oct 20 2018 .OVERNIGHT...NE winds 20 to 25 kt.
