Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
337 PM EST Wed Jan 22 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to locally strong NE to NW winds occurring from
the southwestern through eastern Gulf of Mexico will slowly
diminish through tonight, in the wake of a cold front in the
northwestern Caribbean. Very rough seas associated with these
winds will subside Thu morning. The next cold front, associated
with low pressure moving through the southern United States, will
enter the northwestern Gulf Thu morning, promoting moderate to
fresh N to NE winds across much of the basin. Winds will increase
to strong speeds offshore of Veracruz and Tampico late Thu morning
before reaching gale force early Fri, and rough to very rough
seas will accompany the winds. Winds and seas will diminish by Sat
in this area. Looking ahead, moderate to fresh NE to SE winds are
expected across the basin this weekend as high pressure builds in
the south-central United States. Locally strong SE winds and
rough seas will be possible offshore of Texas late Sat into Sun.
