000 FZNT24 KNHC 161455 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 955 AM EST Wed Nov 16 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. GMZ001-170300- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 955 AM EST Wed Nov 16 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near Tampa Bay, Florida to the central Bay of Campeche this morning and will move SE and extend across the SE Gulf on Thu morning, and move just SE of the basin by Thu evening or Thu night. Fresh to strong northerly winds, with frequent gusts to gale force within 120 nm of the Mexican coast follow the front. Strong high pressure will begin to build over Texas today, tightening the gradient across the Gulf region. As a result, expect increasing winds and building seas across most of the basin, with gale force winds over the SW Gulf late today through Thu night. High seas will build over the SW Gulf by late Thu. Looking ahead, a trough or low pressure is forecast to develop over the western Gulf during the upcoming weekend. This system could bring gale conditions over most of the western Gulf, and strong winds over the eastern Gulf. $$ GMZ040-170300- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 955 AM EST Wed Nov 16 2022 ...GALE CONDITIONS POSSIBLE SAT NIGHT... .TODAY...NE winds 20 kt in the afternoon.
