Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1033 PM EST Wed Dec 4 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge extends from 1027 mb high pressure centered
over north Florida to the far southwest Gulf. Fresh S winds,rough
seas and a few thunderstorms persist over the northwest Gulf this
evening, over the northwest Gulf near a trough on the western
edge of the ridge. The ridge will move southward through Thu ahead
of a cold front that will move into the northern Gulf late Thu.
The front will stall across the central Gulf by late Fri before
dissipating Sat. Broad high pressure will build north of the area
behind the front into Mon, thus supporting moderate to fresh E to
SE winds across the basin.
