Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-142115- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 506 AM EDT Tue May 14 2024 .SYNOPSIS...A cold front is stretching across the NW Gulf with strong thunderstorms ahead of it in the north-central and northeast basin. These thunderstorms could bring strong to temporary gale force winds and rough seas. The front will linger across the northern Gulf over the next few days. This will cause heavy rain and thunderstorms over the northern basin through Wed. Meanwhile, moderate to fresh return flow will dominate the basin, pulsing to strong near the Yucatan Peninsula and Yucatan Channel. Winds may weaken somewhat during the upcoming weekend as the gradient relaxes. Meanwhile, haze due to agricultural fires in Mexico continues across most of the western Gulf and Bay of Campeche. $$ GMZ040-142115- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 506 AM EDT Tue May 14 2024 .TODAY...N winds 10 to 15 kt.
