Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-250930- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 419 PM EST Mon Feb 24 2020 .SYNOPSIS...Weakening high pressure over the area will continue to shift eastward through Tue night in response to a cold front that is advancing eastward just offshore the Texas and southwest Louisiana coasts. This front will reach from near the western Florida panhandle to near 26N93W and to far SW Gulf early Tue, then extend from near Apalachicola, Florida to near 25N92W and stationary to the central Bay of Campeche by Tue night as a stronger cold front reaches the Texas coast. Strong high pressure behind this front will allow for this front to accelerate southeastward reaching from near Sarasota, Florida to inland the Yucatan Peninsula by Wed afternoon and to southeast of the area late Wed. Strong north gale force winds will develop over the SW Gulf and western Bay of Campeche Wed, then continue over the waters near Veracruz and eastern Bay of Campeche Wed night. Strong north winds with frequent gusts to gale force are expected over most of the waters elsewhere west of the front Wed and Wed night as well as seas building to large values. High pressure will settle in over the area by the end of the week allowing for improving conditions. $$ GMZ011-250930- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 419 PM EST Mon Feb 24 2020 ...GALE WARNING... .TONIGHT...SW winds 10 to 15 kt, shifting to NW to N late.
