000 FZNT24 KNHC 081414 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1014 AM EDT Wed May 8 2019 Offshore Waters Forecast 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. GMZ001-090215- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1014 AM EDT Wed May 8 2019 .SYNOPSIS...Relatively weak high pressure across the region will allow for moderate to fresh east to southeast winds to continue across the forecast area through Sun. A weak cold front is expected to begin to move across the far northern sections of the NW and north-central Gulf Sun night and Mon. A trough will develop each night over the Yucatan Peninsula, and support pulses of fresh to locally strong winds in the south central Gulf at night. Smoke and haze from ongoing agricultural fires in Mexico could reduce visibilities in the western Gulf and the Bay of Campeche. $$ GMZ011-090215- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1014 AM EDT Wed May 8 2019 .TODAY...SE to S winds 20 to 25 kt.
