GMZ001-041500- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 954 PM EST Sun Nov 3 2024 .SYNOPSIS...A broad high pressure ridge extends from the western Atlantic into the southeastern U.S. The pressure gradient between this ridge and troughs over Mexico and the northwest Caribbean are supporting fresh winds and moderate seas across most of the Gulf region. Moderate to fresh SE winds across the northwestern part of the basin will strengthen tonight into Tue as a cold front slowly approaches E Texas. Looking ahead, Potential Tropical Cyclone Eighteen is becoming better organized in the southwest Caribbean, and may move across western Cuba into the southeastern Gulf by Tue night or Wed morning as a strong tropical storm or hurricane, then move into the north-central Gulf Fri. Marine interests in the eastern Gulf should continue to monitor the latest advisories from National Hurricane Center on the development and track of Eighteen. $$ GMZ040-041500- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 954 PM EST Sun Nov 3 2024 .OVERNIGHT...SE to S winds 20 to 25 kt late.
