000 FZNT24 KNHC 282009 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 309 PM EST Sun Feb 28 2021 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. GMZ001-010815- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 309 PM EST Sun Feb 28 2021 .SYNOPSIS...High pressure ridging extending from the Atlantic to the central Gulf will slide east-southeast tonight into Mon as a cold front approaches the Texas coast. The front will move over the NW Gulf Mon afternoon. From Mon night through Tue afternoon a stationary front will be oriented E to W over the NE Gulf to weak low pressure near south-central Louisiana. The cold front will extend from the low southwestward to the SW Gulf at that time. Strong gale force north winds are expected over the far western Gulf south of 26N Mon night into Tue. The stationary front will transition to a warm front that lifts north of the Gulf late on Tue, and the cold front will weaken as it reaches the central Gulf Tue night into Wed, the southeastern Gulf during Wed and east of the Gulf late Wed night. In the wake of this front, high pressure will shift eastward across the northern and central Gulf Fri and Fri night as another low forms along a front that may possibly enter the NW and north-central Gulf areas. $$ GMZ011-010815- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 309 PM EST Sun Feb 28 2021 .TONIGHT...SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt.
