000 FZNT24 KNHC 212119 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 518 PM EDT Sat May 21 2022 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. GMZ001-220915- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 518 PM EDT Sat May 21 2022 .SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong southeast winds along with occasionally rough seas will prevail from the south-central Gulf to the northwest Gulf into Sun between high pressure over the western Atlantic and broad low pressure over southern Mexico and northern Central America. Winds and seas will diminish Sun into Mon as the low pressure weakens, except for pulses off fresh to strong winds off the north coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, mainly at night. Looking ahead, a ridge will build from westward from the western Atlantic across the northern Gulf through mid-week. The associated gradient between the ridge and low pressure with a cold front west of the area will support fresh southeast return flow over the western Gulf through late Wed. The cold front is expected to move into the western Gulf on Thu followed by gentle to moderate north to northeast winds. A large area of numerous thunderstorms, with strong to near gale-force wind gusts along with frequent lightning is over the NE Gulf. This activity is likely to continue through late tonight, while it gradually shifts to the southwest. Otherwise, hazy conditions persist over some areas of the western Gulf due to agricultural fires in southern Mexico. $$ GMZ040-220915- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 518 PM EDT Sat May 21 2022 .TONIGHT...SE winds 15 to 20 kt.
