Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1019 PM EST Tue Dec 10 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A Gale Warning is in effect for the western Gulf of
Mexico. A strong cold front extending from SE Louisiana to near
Brownsville, Texas will quickly move southeastward across the
basin, exiting the region on Wed evening. Strong to gale-force
winds and rapidly building seas can be expected in the wake of
the front tonight and Wed. Expect the strongest winds, in the
35 to 40 kt range tonight and Wed morning, with NW strong gale
conditions just offshore of Veracruz. Seas should peak around
17 ft in the SW Gulf early Wed afternoon. These hazardous marine
conditions will gradually diminish from W to E Wed night into
Thu, then high pressure settling into the northern Gulf will
bring more tranquil weather for the end of the week, and into
the weekend.
