Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
931 PM EDT Mon Apr 22 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from the Florida Keys to 23N88W,
continuing as a stationary front to Veracruz, Mexico. Fresh to
strong NW winds are offshore Veracruz and W of the Yucatan
Peninsula, with moderate to fresh N to NE winds elsewhere behind
the front. Seas of 4 to 7 ft, up to 8 ft near Veracruz, will
gradually subside through Tue. The majority of the front will push
SE of the basin later tonight with the western portion
dissipating. High pressure will dominate in the wake of the front
through mid-week. Winds will increase to fresh to strong across
most of the basin by the end of the week into the weekend as the
pressure gradient tightens, which will also build seas reaching 7
to 11 ft basinwide Sat night. Fresh to strong winds will pulse
near the Yucatan Peninsula in the evenings.
