Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-070315- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1003 AM EST Wed Feb 6 2019 .SYNOPSIS...High pressure centered off the NE Florida coast will shift northeastward across the western Atlc through Thu as a strong cold front moves across eastern Texas. This new 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 on Sun. $$ GMZ011-070315- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1003 AM EST Wed Feb 6 2019 .TODAY...SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt.
