Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
506 PM EDT Sat Mar 25 2023

.SYNOPSIS...A weak stationary front extending southwestward from 
west of New Orleans to the Texas-Mexico border should gradually 
dissipate tonight. Therefore, a surface ridge stretching into the 
central Gulf from the western Atlantic should continue to dominate
the area through Tue. Fresh to strong winds will pulse off the 
Yucatan peninsula during the evening hours through this period. A 
cold front will enter the northwestern Gulf Tue morning, then move
farther southeast and reach from the Florida Big Bend area to 
north of Tampico, Mexico by Tue night. Fresh to strong NE to E 
winds are expected at the northwestern Gulf behind the front into 
Wed. By late Wed night or Thu morning, it will reach from the 
Florida Straits to the eastern Bay of Campeche while weakening. 
Moderate with locally fresh ENE to E winds will prevail across the
Bay of Campeche and southeastern Gulf behind this front.
