000 FZNT25 KNHC 211517 OFFN04 NAVTEX Marine Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1117 AM EDT Sun Oct 21 2018 ...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed Coastal Waters Forecasts... Southeast Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from N central Florida to 28N89W and to 27N93W, where it becomes a warm front to a weak 1016 mb low over the NW Gulf near 27N96W. A stationary front then trails from the low to 23N96W to 20N97W. The cold front will sweep across the eastern and central Gulf waters today and and become a stationary front over the SE Gulf on Mon. The low will slowly move northeastward through Mon night, then east-northeastward across the north-central waters through Thu night and the NE Gulf by Fri, dragging a new cold front across the SW Gulf. The pressure gradient between the low and high pressure building over the southeastern United States will support fresh to strong north to northeast winds and building seas over the northern Gulf today before diminishing Mon. Fresh to strong northerly winds are also expected over the western Gulf behind the cold front. On Mon, fresh to strong north to northeast winds over the NW Gulf will lowly diminish through Thu. .THIS AFTERNOON...NE to E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. .TONIGHT...NE to E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. .MON...E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Isolated showers .MON NIGHT...E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft.

Fresh to strong winds and building seas are expected behind this front through late Mon as strong high pressures slides eastward off the U.S. east coast. The high pressure and front will weaken Tue through early Thu allowing for winds to diminish and seas to subside. On Thu, the pressure gradient is forecast to tighten east of NE Florida between high pressure to the N across the eastern seaboard and possible low pressure developing N of the NW Bahamas. .THIS AFTERNOON...N to NE winds 10 to 15 kt S of 27N, and N 20 to 20 kt N of 27N.

Seas 2 to 3 ft S of 27N, and 3 to 5 ft N of 27N. .WED NIGHT...NE to E winds 5 to 10 kt S of 27N, and E 10 to 15 kt N of 27N. Seas 2 to 3 ft S of 27N, and 3 to 5 ft N of 27N. .THU...NE to E winds 5 to 10 kt S of 27N, and NE to E 20 to 25 kt N of 27N.
