Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

349 AM EST Thu Nov 21 2024



.SYNOPSIS...A cold front sweeping across the basin has reached the

Upper Florida Keys to far western Cuba and will shift SE and exit

the basin by sunrise. Minimal NW gale winds offshore Veracruz 

will diminish below gale-force by sunrise. Fresh to strong N winds

and building seas are expected elsewhere behind the front. High 

pressure will build in the wake of the front with marine 

conditions gradually improving from W to E through the end of the 

week. The high pressure will shift to the NE Gulf early Sun when 

gentle to moderate SE to S winds are expected over the eastern 

Gulf, and moderate to locally fresh SE to S return flow develops 

over the western Gulf.
