Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
415 PM EST Mon Jan 21 2019
SYNOPSIS
Strong high pressure ridging extending southward
over the Gulf from the central United States will shift eastward
toward Cape Hatteras as low pressure deepens over the southern
Plains. This will allow for strong southerly winds to develop
over the western Gulf of Mexico by Tue morning and the remainder
of the basin by Tue night. Another strong cold front is expected
to enter the NW Gulf early on Wed followed by gale force
northwest to north winds over the far western Gulf from southern
Texas to the coast of Mexico near Veracruz. This front will
reach from near the NE Gulf to the Yucatan Peninsula early Thu,
then weaken as it exits the SE Gulf Thu night. High pressure
will build across the area in the wake of the front through Sat
night.
