000 FZNT25 KNHC 250210 OFFN04 NAVTEX Marine Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 910 PM EST Fri Jan 24 2025 ...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 tight pressure gradient between high pressure over eastern Mexico and a persistent trough in the western Gulf is allowing for gale-force winds offshore Veracruz. These winds will diminish to strong speeds late tonight, and the resultant rough to very rough seas will slowly decay through Sat. Otherwise, fresh to strong northerly winds over the south-central and southeastern Gulf will diminish Sat night while winds veer to east to southeast over the western Gulf tonight and Sat as high pressure shifts eastward across the southeastern U.S. Winds are forecast to become fresh to locally strong ahead of low pressure that will be developing in central Texas. By the end of the weekend and into early next week, more tranquil marine conditions are forecast basin-wide as the pressure gradient weakens. Moderate to fresh southeast to south winds are expected to develop over the western Gulf starting Tue night as the high pressure becomes centered over the NE Gulf, then shifts to east of the basin afterward. .TONIGHT...N to NE winds 20 to 25 kt.

Meanwhile, a cold front extends from 31N70W to the northern Bahamas with fresh to strong winds and rough seas west of it.
