Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

331 AM EST Wed Jan 22 2025



.SYNOPSIS...Deepening low pressure in the south-central Gulf is

producing gale-force winds across the southern half of the basin.

These conditions will continue through late this morning. High 

seas are currently across the SW and S-central portions of the basin

and will slowly subsiding below 12 ft on tonight. Seas will drop 

below 8 ft by Thu. Mariners are urged to exercise extreme caution 

across the basin due to the expansive area of gale-force winds 

and a large area of very rough to high seas in the area. Looking 

ahead, a surface trough is forecast to develop along the E Mexican

offshore waters by Thu evening with strong winds possibly 

reaching gale-force by Thu night and continue through Fri 

evening.
