000 FZNT24 KNHC 232010 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 310 PM EST Tue Jan 23 2024 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. GMZ001-240815- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 310 PM EST Tue Jan 23 2024 .SYNOPSIS...A sharp surface trough extending from the central Gulf to the NE Gulf is producing strong to near-gale force winds and rough seas, along with showers. Expect these conditions to persist through late this afternoon as the trough drifts northeastward. The trough should weaken tonight, and the winds and seas will then subside. Dense marine fog is possible near the Texas and Louisiana coasts through Wed morning. Otherwise, the pressure gradient between strong high pressure east of the area and lower pressures over Texas and Mexico will lead to a continuation of fresh SE winds across most of the Gulf through Wed. Winds will diminish a bit by late Wed before a weak cold front moves into the NW Gulf late Wed night. The front will reach from SE Louisiana to Tampico, Mexico late Thu before stalling. Another cold front will reach the NW Gulf late Fri night, extend from SE louisiana to Tampico Sat morning, and from Tampa Bay to the eastern Bay of Campeche Sun morning. Fresh NW to N winds will follow this front across the Gulf of Mexico, with strong winds in the SW Gulf. $$ GMZ040-240815- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 310 PM EST Tue Jan 23 2024 .TONIGHT...SE winds 10 to 15 kt.
