Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-040815- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 414 PM EDT Thu Oct 3 2024 .SYNOPSIS...Strong to near-gale force winds over a portion of the SW Gulf that includes within 60 nm offshore Veracruz will diminish to fresh to strong speeds tonight. Little change is expected through Sat. Rough seas with these winds will slowly subside through Fri. Otherwise, Disorganized showers and thunderstorms over portions of the Gulf of Mexico are associated with a surface trough. A broad area of low pressure is likely to develop over the Gulf of Mexico this weekend or early next week, but subsequent tropical or subtropical development could be limited by the system's potential interaction with a frontal boundary. Regardless of development, scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected over most of the basin this weekend. Fresh to strong winds are expected to begin to materialize over the NE and north-central Gulf late Sat, then spread to the north-central and western Gulf sections early next week. These winds are expected to reach near gale speeds over some sections of central and NE Gulf Tue and Tue night, with some potential of gale force speeds. Expect building seas with these winds. Mariners are urged to check the latest forecasts for updated information on winds and seas, especially from late Sun into early next week. $$ GMZ040-040815- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 414 PM EDT Thu Oct 3 2024 .TONIGHT...NE to E winds 15 to 20 kt, shifting to E to SE 10 kt late.
