Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-211400- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 855 PM EST Sun Jan 20 2019 .SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front has exited the area, and is now over the northwestern Caribbean Sea from west-central Cuba to northern Belize. Fresh to strong winds and high seas over the southeastern Gulf south of 27N will subside through early Mon. Strong high pressure in the wake of the front covers the entire basin. The high pressure will shift eastward in as low pressure deepens over the southern Plains allowing for strong southeast to south return flow to develop in the western Gulf of Mexico by Tue morning. The strong return flow will expand to the eastern Gulf of Mexico by Tue night. Another strong cold front is expected to move across the NW Gulf of Mexico Wed morning, with the possibility of gale force northerly winds behind it over the far western Gulf and near the coast of Mexico. This front will reach from near the NE Gulf to the Yucatan Peninsula early Thu and weaken as it exits the SE Gulf Thu night followed by fresh to strong northerly winds. $$ GMZ011-211400- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 855 PM EST Sun Jan 20 2019 ...GALE CONDITIONS POSSIBLE WED... .OVERNIGHT...E to SE winds 10 to 15 kt.
