000 FZNT25 KNHC 070936 OFFN04 NAVTEX Marine Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 436 AM EST Thu Feb 7 2019 ...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...High pressure centered over the western Atlantic and NE Gulf will maintain southerly return flow over the basin through this afternoon. A cold front will reach to just inland the Texas coast this afternoon, then extend from southwestern Louisiana to northeastern Mexico this evening, from near Destin, Florida to 26N90W to 24N96W and stationary to near 21N97W early Fri, and weaken as it reaches from near Tampa, Florida to 26N90W and stationary to 24N96W and to 19N96W by Fri evening. The front will weaken further becoming diffuse by late Sat night. A tight pressure gradient between the front and strong high pressure that will build across the region in its wake will bring the possibility for gale force northwest to north winds across the offshore of Mexico in the W central and SW Gulf Fri afternoon into early Sat. Strong to near gale force winds, with possible occasional gusts to gale force will be possible elsewhere over the western Gulf waters tonight into early Fri. High pressure that will shift eastward to the central Atlantic next week will again allow for return flow to return to most of the basin. .TODAY...E to SE winds 15 to 20 kt.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near 23N65W to 22N67W and continues as a stationary front to the coast of the Dominican Republic near 19N69W. The cold front will move to the east of the forecast waters this morning, while the stationary portion weakens through Fri. The next cold front will move over the far northwestern waters Fri night, then reach from near 31N67W to 29N76W and become stationary to near Cape Canaveral by early on Sat. Very strong high pressure will build across the western Atlantic behind this front. Seas to near 12 ft with strong northeast to winds are expected over the waters north and northeast of the Bahamas Sat and Sat night. The strong winds and high seas will begin to slowly subside beginning on Sun afternoon as the front dissipates. Seas will continue to subside on Mon as the high pressure weakens while it shifts eastward to the central Atlantic waters. .TODAY...E to SE winds 10 to 15 kt.
