000 FZNT25 KNHC 270317 OFFN04 NAVTEX Marine Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1017 PM EST Wed Feb 26 2020 ...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 strong cold front extends from just south of Fort Myers, Florida to 24N86W and to the Yucatan Peninsula. This front will quickly move southeastward to southeast of the area by late tonight followed by strong high pressure that will settle in over the NW Gulf in its wake. The very tight gradient between the high pressure and the front is allowing for gale force winds to occur over about just the entire forecast waters, with storm force wind in the SW Gulf. These conditions will gradually diminish through Thu night as the high pressure over the NW Gulf shifts eastward to the NE Gulf by the weekend. Prior to that, another cold front will sweep across the NE Gulf Fri night and Sat. The high pressure will shift to east of NE Florida by Mon afternoon. This will allow for fresh to strong return flow to develop over the western Gulf beginning late Sat and spreading to the central Gulf by early next week. .OVERNIGHT...NW to N winds 20 to 30 kt.
