GMZ001-062130- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 419 AM EST Sun Dec 6 2020 .SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from near Naples, Florida to the Bay of Campeche. A 1013 mb surface low is centered near 22N95W with a trough extending from the low to 27N95W. This pattern will support strong to near gale force winds over the far western Gulf through today, briefly reaching gale force late tonight off Veracruz. The low pressure will move rapidly toward the Carolina coast 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. $$ GMZ011-062130- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 419 AM EST Sun Dec 6 2020 .TODAY...NW to N winds 20 to 25 kt.
