GMZ001-290715- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 207 PM EST Sat Nov 28 2020 .SYNOPSIS...A cold front that currently extends from Apalachicola, Florida to 28N91W and to inland Texas near Corpus Christi will become stationary tonight. The front will begin to lift back north as a warm front late tonight into Sun morning. At the same time, low pressure will track northeastward along the upper Texas coast dragging a strong cold front into the NW Gulf. The front will quickly reach from near Mobile Bay to the central Gulf and to the eastern Bay of Campeche by early Sun evening and to southeast of the Gulf by Mon night, followed by fresh to strong northerly winds and building seas. Gale force winds are likely in the extreme SW Gulf Mon into Mon night. Winds diminish and seas subside Tue. High pressure in the wake of the front will shift eastward Tue night through Wed night allowing for moderate to fresh east to southeast flow to set up across the area. A frontal system is expected to move into the NW Gulf Wed night and reach from near Mobile Bay to the central Gulf and central Bay of Campeche by late Thu. Fresh to strong northerly winds and building seas will follow in behind this front. $$ GMZ011-290715- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 207 PM EST Sat Nov 28 2020 .TONIGHT...SE to S winds 15 to 20 kt, except E 20 to 25 kt N of 28N.
