988 FZNT24 KNHC 231424 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 924 AM EST Thu Feb 23 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. GMZ001-240230- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 924 AM EST Thu Feb 23 2023 .SYNOPSIS...A high pressure ridge between the Bahamas and Bermuda interacting with an expansive area of deep low pressure over the central U.S. is allowing for fresh to strong SE to S winds over most of the Gulf. As the low pressure continues to shift northeastward, these winds should diminish by this evening. However, a diurnal trough developing over the Yucatan Peninsula during the day will induce fresh to strong E to SE winds over the SW Gulf nightly for the next several days. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker E to SE winds should prevail through Mon night. Looking ahead, a weak cold front may emerge off of the Texas and Louisiana coast on Mon. $$ GMZ040-240230- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 924 AM EST Thu Feb 23 2023 .TODAY...SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt in the afternoon.
