000 FZNT24 KNHC 180247 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 947 PM EST Thu Nov 17 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. GMZ001-181500- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 947 PM EST Thu Nov 17 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near the Yucatan Channel to along the N coast of the Yucatan Peninsula to the eastern Bay of Campeche where it has stalled and reaches to a 1017 mb low pres area near 21.5N95W. The remainder of the cold front will stall across the Yucatan Channel this evening. The stationary front will become a sharp surface trough over the SW Gulf on Fri. Gale force NW winds will continue within about 120 nm of the Mexican coast near Veracruz through tonight while strong winds prevail elsewhere over the SW Gulf, and fresh to strong in the central Gulf. The surface trough will extend from the SW Gulf to the NW Gulf over the weekend while low pres lingers along it. The gradient between this possible low pres and high pres across the south-central U.S. will produce strong to gale force winds across much of the Gulf of Mexico late Sat through Sun night. Conditions should gradually improve early next week. $$ GMZ040-181500- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 947 PM EST Thu Nov 17 2022 ...GALE WARNING... .OVERNIGHT...NE winds 20 to 25 kt.
