GMZ001-101945- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 339 AM EDT Fri May 10 2024 .SYNOPSIS...Atlantic high pressure ridging extending westward across central Florida will shift southward through Sat in response to a cold front that will be moving into the far NW Gulf this morning. Ahead of the front, a trough extends from 29N92W to 26N97W. Gentle to moderate southeast winds are over the Gulf, except for light to gentle southeast to south winds are over the eastern Gulf. The cold front will move southeastward across the basin, reaching from near southeastern Louisiana to South Texas by Fri afternoon, from near Fort Myers, Florida to the NE Mexico and South Texas border by early Sat, then stall from the Straits of Florida to South Texas on Sun, then gradually weaken with its remnants lifting back north as a warm front through Tue. Moderate to locally fresh northeast winds will follow the front into Sat evening. Haze due to agricultural fires in southeastern Mexico continues across most of the western Gulf. $$ GMZ040-101945- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 339 AM EDT Fri May 10 2024 .TODAY...Variable winds less than 5 kt, becoming NE to E 10 to 15 kt in the afternoon.
