GMZ001-060930- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 423 PM EST Thu Dec 5 2019 .SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the northeast Gulf will shift east of the area today in response to a cold front that will move off the Texas coast early Fri. Weak low pressure will form along the front over the northern Gulf Fri and shift northeast of the area into Sun, allowing the front to stall and weaken over the western Gulf. A ridge of high pressure will build across the central Gulf Mon, before shifting east of the area late Mon ahead of a stronger cold front expected to move off the Texas coast early Tue and reach from the NE Gulf to the western Gulf by late Tue. This front will be followed by strong northerly winds, possibly reaching to gale force, over portions of the far western and SW Gulf Tue and Tue night. $$ GMZ011-060930- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 423 PM EST Thu Dec 5 2019 .TONIGHT...SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt.
