GMZ001-062045- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 515 AM EST Wed Feb 6 2019 .SYNOPSIS...High pressure centered over northern Florida will shift eastward over the western Atlc by Thu as a strong cold front moves across eastern Texas. This front will move over the NW Gulf Thu night, quickly reach from Florida Big Bend to near Veracruz, Mexico by Fri evening, then weaken as it reaches from Sarasota, Florida to near 26N90W and becomes stationary to the SW Gulf Sat. Very strong high pressure will build across the area in the wake of the front, with the resultant tight pressure gradient bringing strong to near gale force northerly winds over the W central and SW Gulf Fri into early on Sat. Winds diminish and seas subside mainly over the western and central Gulf Sun. $$ GMZ011-062045- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 515 AM EST Wed Feb 6 2019 .TODAY...SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt.
