Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
857 AM EST Wed Dec 25 2024
.SYNOPSIS...High pressure centered over the eastern United
States will maintain mostly moderate southeast winds and slight
to moderate seas through early Fri, then winds may increase some
late Fri into Sat over the eastern Gulf as high pressure builds
southward from the southeastern United States and a weak cold
front approaches eastern Texas. Relatively calm conditions are
expected Sun and Sun night as the weak cold front moves across
the Gulf, followed by weak high pressure that becomes established
over the NW Gulf at that time.
