000 FZNT24 KNHC 021513 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1113 AM EDT Thu Sep 2 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. GMZ001-030315- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1113 AM EDT Thu Sep 2 2021 .SYNOPSIS...A weak ridge extends from the Florida Keys to the northwest Gulf, south of a weak cold front moving south into the Florida Panhandle. The front will stall over far northeast Gulf through Fri. This pattern will maintain light to gentle breezes over most the Gulf, with slight seas, except for fresh winds expected to pulse northwest of the Yucatan Peninsula at night through Fri. Looking ahead, an area of low pressure that is currently located near the coast of Nicaragua could move over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico during the weekend and early next week, but by then strong upper- level winds would likely limit significant development. $$ GMZ011-030315- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1113 AM EDT Thu Sep 2 2021 .TODAY...SE to S winds 10 kt in the afternoon.
