900 FZNT32 KNHC 070326 OFFN21 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1026 PM EST Sat Jan 6 2024 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Gulf of Mexico Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from Sarasota, FL to near 23N89W, where it becomes a stationary front to the SW Bay of Campeche. The cold front will become stationary Sun afternoon from the Straits of Florida to 20N95W. A very strong cold front is expected to enter the western Gulf Mon evening and move southeast of the basin late Tue night. Strong to near gale force SE to S winds will begin in advance of the cold front, Sun night into early Mon, as a warm front advances northward across the basin, which should result in scattered showers and thunderstorms. Gale force winds are expected by midday Mon over the north-central Gulf, with gusts reaching strong gale force speeds. Strong to near gale force winds are also expected across most of the basin by that same time. Strong to severe thunderstorms will likely accompany the cold front over portions of the northern Gulf. Several areas of the Gulf will experience sustained winds of gale force on both sides of the front. Conditions quiet down Wed through Thu as high pressure in the wake of the front shifts E across the central Gulf. This will allow for moderate return flow to set up over the far western Gulf. By late Thu, moderate to fresh E to SE winds are expected across most of the basin as the high pressure will have shifted E of northern Florida.
