NAVTEX Marine Forecast
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
1037 AM EST Mon Feb 15 2021

...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available
through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed
Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...Low pressure of 1008 mb is centered near 28N92W,
with a cold front extending from it to 24N93W and to Veracruz,
Mexico. A warm front extends from the low to 29N90W and to
28N88W, where it transitions to a cold front to weak low
pressure of 1013 mb near 29N84W. A very tight gradient between
strong high building southward over the western Gulf and the
cold front associated to the low pressure near 28N92W is
resulting in gale force northerly winds over the western Gulf
waters as well as over the western part of the north-central
waters. Along with these winds, seas have build to large values
over the NW and west-central Gulf areas. The gale force winds
will diminish during the afternoon as the 1008 mb low lifts
north of the area, with the trailing cold front extending from
the western Florida panhandle to near 25N89W, and to inland the
northwest part of the Yucatan Peninsula. The cold front will
weaken as it reaches the far southeastern Gulf Tue, where it is
expected to become stationary, before lifting back north as a
warm front Tue night and Wed. Another low pressure system will
track east-northeastward across the NW Gulf on Wed and Wed night
dragging a strong cold front across the western Gulf. This cold
front is expected to reach from near Apalachicola, Florida to
the eastern Bay of Campeche on Thu, and exit the Gulf on Fri.
Gale conditions will be possible behind this front off Veracruz
on Thu. Strong to near gale force southerly winds are possible
ahead of this front.
