GMZ001-291500- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 955 PM EST Wed Nov 28 2018 .SYNOPSIS...High pressure of 1022 mb centered over the Florida Panhandle move eastward across northern Florida on Thu. As the high pressure slides eastward, southerly return flow already in place over the western Gulf will spread across entire Gulf by Fri. The pressure gradient will tighten across the region between the high pressure and lower pressure over Texas, resulting in fresh to strong southerly winds first across the eastern half of the Gulf late Thu through Fri morning, and across the eastern half of the Gulf Fri afternoon and Fri night. The next cold front will move off the Texas coast Sat morning and meander across the NW Gulf through Sun before reinforcing high pressure forces the front SE Sun night. $$ GMZ011-291500- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 955 PM EST Wed Nov 28 2018 .OVERNIGHT...SE to S winds 15 to 20 kt.
