000 FZNT24 KNHC 071432 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 932 AM EST Tue Feb 7 2023 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. GMZ001-080245- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 932 AM EST Tue Feb 7 2023 .SYNOPSIS...1029 mb high pressure over North Carolina spreads ridging into the central Gulf, as a cold front moves E over west-central Texas. The resultant pressure gradient between these two features will support fresh SE to S winds across the Gulf of Mexico through Wed. The cold front over Texas will move over the western Gulf Wed afternoon. Fresh to strong northerly winds and building seas will briefly follow the front that will stall over the west-central Gulf on Thu while dissipating. A stronger cold front will enter the NW Gulf Thu night, reach from the Florida Big Bend to Merida, Mexico Fri evening, and exit the basin by Sat morning. Gale conditions are possible near Tampico, Mexico early Fri afternoon, and offshore Veracruz, Mexico during the evening hours. Gales could persist over the central and western Bay of Campeche through Fri night and into Sat morning. Rough to very rough seas are also expected in the wake of the front, especially over the SW Gulf. $$ GMZ040-080245- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 932 AM EST Tue Feb 7 2023 .TODAY...SE to S winds 15 to 20 kt in the afternoon.
