GMZ001-061515- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1002 PM EST Sat Dec 5 2020 .SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from near Naples, Florida to the Bay of Campeche. A 1013 mb surface low is centered near 21N94W with a trough extending from the low to 27N96W. This pattern will support strong to near gale force winds over the far western Gulf through Sun, briefly reaching gale force late Sun off Veracruz. The low pressure will move rapidly toward the Carolina coast Sun through Mon, dragging a reinforcing front across the eastern Gulf Mon into Tue. Winds and seas diminish through mid week as the cold front shifts southeast of the area and high pressure builds over the northern Gulf. Looking ahead, southerly return flow will increase over the northwest Gulf by Thu ahead of the next cold front. $$ GMZ011-061515- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1002 PM EST Sat Dec 5 2020 .OVERNIGHT...NE to E winds 10 to 15 kt, becoming N 20 to 25 kt.
