Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
253 PM EST Tue Nov 12 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A broad area of low pressure, remnants of Rafael,
will meander over the central Gulf through tonight before moving
to the NW basin and dissipating Wed. The pressure gradient between
a strong ridge building over the eastern United States and the
low will support the development of moderate to fresh E to SE
winds over the eastern half of the basin tonight through Thu,
reaching strong speeds in the NE Gulf and the Straits of Florida
Wed and Wed night. A cold front will sink into the NE Gulf Thu
and exit the NE basin Thu night. Moderate NE to E winds and
slight to moderate seas will dominate the basin the remainder
forecast period.
