GMZ001-092015- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 307 AM EST Mon Jan 9 2023 .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from the far western Florida panhandle near Pensacola southwestward to 28N91W, where it transitions to a stationary front to inland NE Mexico. The cold front will stall over the northern and eastern Gulf today through early Tue, and lift NE as a warm front later during Tue and through Wed night. The stationary portion will weaken and dissipate through tonight. Light to gentle variable winds will dominate the basin afterward through Thu morning when a strong cold front is forecast to emerge off the coast of Texas. Fresh southerly flow will return to the Texas coast Wed into Thu ahead of this front, and strong NW winds and building seas will follow the front over the northwest Gulf Thu night. Looking ahead, the front will reach from near Tampa Bay, Florida to Veracruz, Mexico by early Fri. Winds to gale force and rough seas are possible off Veracruz Fri behind the front, with fresh to strong northerly winds elsewhere. Winds and seas will diminish into Sat as the front moves southeast of the area. $$ GMZ040-092015- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 307 AM EST Mon Jan 9 2023 .TODAY...NE to E winds 10 kt.
