Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
216 PM EST Sun Nov 24 2024

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will prevail across the Gulf waters
through the middle of the week. Moderate to fresh southerly
winds will persist over the western Gulf through Mon before
diminishing briefly. A weak cold front will move off the coast of
Texas Mon night into Tue, extend along the northern Gulf through
Wed, then lift N ahead of another cold front forecast to enter
the Gulf waters late on Thu. Moderate to fresh southerly winds
will once again develop over the western Gulf on Wed ahead of the
second front, which will reach from N Florida to near Tampico,
Mexico Fri morning, and from the Straits of Florida to near
Veracruz, Mexico Fri night. The front will exit the basin on Sat.
Fresh to strong northerly winds and building seas will follow
this front. Winds may briefly reach minimal gale force near the
Veracruz area on Fri.
