356 FZNT24 KNHC 022007 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 407 PM 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. GMZ001-030815- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 407 PM EDT Thu Sep 2 2021 .SYNOPSIS...A weak ridge extends from the Florida Keys to the northwest Gulf, south of a weak stationary front in the Florida Panhandle. The front will gradually move south and stall over far northeast Gulf through Fri. This pattern will maintain light to gentle breezes over most of the Gulf, with slight seas, except for fresh winds expected to pulse northwest of the Yucatan Peninsula at night through Sat. 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. $$ GMZ011-030815- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 407 PM EDT Thu Sep 2 2021 .TONIGHT...SE to S winds 10 kt.
