000 FZNT25 KNHC 311339 OFFN04 NAVTEX Marine Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 939 AM EDT Wed May 31 2023 ...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 1008 mb low has formed in the central Gulf near 26N87W, with a trough extending from it to 23N88W and to near 22N92W. Environmental conditions appear only marginally favorable for additional development over the next several days as the system meanders over the eastern Gulf of Mexico during this time. Enhanced showers and thunderstorms are expected across most of the eastern half of the Gulf today into Fri. Winds associated with this system are forecast to be fresh over the NE Gulf beginning tonight. The system should move eastward over Florida and into the Atlantic Ocean during the weekend. Elsewhere, over the western Gulf, high pressure should lead to gentle to moderate winds into the weekend, with occasional fresh pulses along the W coast of Yucatan. .TODAY...S to SW winds 10 kt. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Isolated showers and thunderstorms. .TONIGHT...S winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Isolated showers and thunderstorms. .THU...SW to W winds 10 kt. Seas 2 to 3 ft.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida .SYNOPSIS...A surface trough extending from the Straits of Florida northeastward to 31N72W will be the focal point for scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms over the next couple of days. A broad area of low pressure is expected to form along this trough Thu night to the southwest of Bermuda, when the trough is forecast to extend from 30N67W to South Florida. Fresh to strong winds may cover a large area with this low as it slides E along a cold front to the S of Bermuda on Fri. At the same time, another broad area of low pressure over the eastern Gulf of Mexico late this week will move E across Florida and into the western Atlantic over the weekend. As a result, increasing winds and building seas are likely between Florida and 60W this weekend. Strong N to NE winds and building seas are expected offshore northeast Florida Sun and Sun night behind a cold front. .TODAY...S of 27N, SE to S winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 to 3 ft.
