Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1018 PM EST Thu Nov 21 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front moving through the southeastern United
States will progress into the northeastern Gulf of Mexico late
tonight into Fri morning, promoting fresh NW winds across the
eastern half of the basin. Strong N winds will be possible north
of 28N and east of 88W through early Fri. Locally rough seas will
occur near the strongest winds. Farther south, moderate to fresh
N winds will continue through Fri morning in the wake of another
cold front moving through the northwestern and central Caribbean
Sea. Locally rough seas of 8 to 9 ft are expected through the
Yucatan Channel tonight into Fri behind this front. Winds across
the basin will diminish to gentle to moderate speeds by Sat
morning as high pressure develops over the southeastern United
States. Moderate to locally fresh SE winds look to develop over
the western Gulf Sun into early next week ahead of a developing
low pressure in the Great Plains.
