Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-261445- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1032 PM EDT Wed May 25 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A squall line continues to move eastward over the northern and NE Gulf ahead of a cold front draped across the NW Gulf. The thunderstorms in this line could produce temporary gusty winds and rough seas through the early overnight hours. Ahead of the front, moderate to fresh southerly flow is found in the central and eastern Gulf with gentle to moderate winds behind it. The cold front will continue pushing eastward through the northern basin over the next few days. As the front reaches the NE Gulf by Friday, the boundary will weaken. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to persist ahead of the front through this time. Winds will pulse to strong near the N coast of the Yucatan Peninsula into the early overnight hours. By the weekend, high pressure will settle over the basin, bringing quiescent conditions. $$
