GMZ001-250245- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1035 AM EDT Tue May 24 2022 .SYNOPSIS...Low pressure along a surface trough is producing thunderstorms and gusty winds over the far northwestern and west-central Gulf. The trough and the convective activity will weaken by late this afternoon over the area. Fresh to strong southerly return flow is expected again tonight in the far western Gulf as the gradient between high pressure over the western Atlantic and lower pressure over Mexico tightens. Winds will also pulse to fresh to strong near the N coast of the Yucatan Peninsula this evening and Wed evening. Moderate to fresh SE winds will prevail elsewhere through Wed with moderate seas. Looking ahead, a cold front is expected to move into the western Gulf Wed night and weaken as it reaches from the NE Gulf to the eastern Bay of Campeche on Fri. It will be followed by gentle to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas Fri and Sat as weak high pressure ridging settles over the basin. $$ GMZ040-250245- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1035 AM EDT Tue May 24 2022 .TODAY...SE to S winds 15 to 20 kt in the afternoon.
