000 FZNT24 KNHC 152111 CCA OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico...Corrected Updated NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 126 PM EST Mon Feb 15 2021 Corrected first period for SW Gulf zone 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. GMZ001-160630- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 126 PM EST Mon Feb 15 2021 .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. $$ GMZ011-160630- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 126 PM EST Mon Feb 15 2021 ...GALE WARNING... .REST OF TODAY...NW to N winds 30 to 35 kt, diminishing to 20 to 25 kt in the afternoon.
