Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-041830- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 227 AM EDT Sat Apr 4 2020 .SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure ridging over the eastern Gulf will shift eastward through Sat night in response to low pressure and an associated cold front that is advancing eastward over the central U.S. The front is expected to reach the Texas coast Sat, then become stationary before it lifts back north as a warm front Sun. This front will trigger showers and thunderstorms over the far NW Gulf Fri night through Sat night. High pressure from off the Carolina coast will slide southward early next week setting up an east to west ridge across the area. This will allow for generally light to moderate east to southeast winds over the basin through Wed night. Fresh to strong winds will pulse each evening north and west of the Yucatan Peninsula through the period as thermal troughs emerge off the Peninsula to across SW Gulf. $$ GMZ011-041830- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 227 AM EDT Sat Apr 4 2020 .TODAY...E to SE winds 10 to 15 kt.
