Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1109 PM EDT Sat May 21 2022
.SYNOPSIS...A line of thunderstorms persists over the central
Gulf this evening, associated with an upper disturbance over the
region. This activity is expected to gradually diminish through
late Sun. Fresh to strong SE winds and rough seas are ongoing
over the central Gulf as well, between a strong ridge over the
western Atlantic and lower pressure over southern Mexico. Winds
and seas will diminish Sun into Mon as the low pressure weakens,
except for pulses off fresh to strong winds off the north coast
of the Yucatan Peninsula, mainly at night. Looking ahead, a
ridge will build from westward from the western Atlantic across
the northern Gulf through mid-week. The associated gradient
between the ridge and low pressure with a cold front west of the
area will support fresh southeast return flow over the western
Gulf Tue through late Wed. The cold front is expected to move
into the western Gulf on Thu followed by gentle to moderate
north to northeast winds.
