Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-122030- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 429 AM EDT Sun May 12 2024 .SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from near Fort Myers, Florida to the central Gulf near 27N90W and to inland Texas near Corpus Christi. Mostly moderate east to southeast winds are north of 27N and west of 90W. The eastern portion of the front will slowly move southeastward and extend from the Straits of Florida to the central Gulf this morning, where it will stall again and weaken with its remnants lifting back N as a warm front through Sun night. Moderate to fresh return flow will dominate for the end of the weekend into early next week, with another front or trough possibly impacting the western Gulf Mon night. High pressure should rebuild across the basin mid-week, with moderate to fresh SE-S winds, locally strong. Meanwhile, haze due to agricultural fires in Mexico continues across most of the western Gulf and Bay of Campeche. Fresh to strong winds will pulse near the Yucatan Peninsula each evening through the period. $$ GMZ040-122030- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 429 AM EDT Sun May 12 2024 .TODAY...SE winds 15 to 20 kt.
