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

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near Apalachicola, Florida
to NE Tamaulipas, with some showers and isolated thunderstorms
near the front. The front will reach from N-central Florida to
the W-central Gulf to Veracruz, Mexico this evening, then will
weaken and eventually wash out as it pushes through the southern
Gulf by Mon evening. Fresh to near gale-force winds are occurring
behind the front in the NW Gulf, lingering offshore of Veracruz
through Mon evening. Winds will pulse to gale force this evening
in the W Gulf. Seas will build to 10 ft during the strongest
winds. High pressure will rebuild in the wake of the front, with
gentle to moderate winds across the NE half of the basin, and
moderate to fresh across the SW half, pulsing to fresh to strong
NW of the Yucatan Peninsula at night.
