Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
932 PM EDT Sun Apr 21 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from just N of Tampa Bay,
Florida to just S of Tampico, Mexico with thunderstorms possible
along and ahead of it. Gale-force winds offshore southern
Tamaulipas and northern Veracruz will diminish late tonight,
with fresh to strong winds and building seas elsewhere behind
the front. The front will push SE of the basin by Mon evening
with conditions gradually improving. High pressure will dominate
in the wake of the front through mid-week. Winds will increase by
the end of the week as the pressure gradient tightens, which
will also build seas. Fresh to strong winds will pulse near the
Yucatan Peninsula in the evenings.
