000 FZNT25 KNHC 270301 OFFN04 NAVTEX Marine Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1001 PM EST Sun Jan 26 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...High pressure dominates the basin with fresh to strong NE winds and locally rough seas in the SE Gulf through the Straits of Florida, with mainly moderate return flow and slight to moderate seas elsewhere. The high pressure will shift slightly eastward tonight as a weak cold front moves into the NW Gulf late tonight into early Mon. It will stall and dissipate over the northern Gulf coastal waters through Mon night. Mostly gentle to moderate winds will continue over the basin through Tue before increasing to moderate to fresh speeds mid-week as the pressure gradient tightens, then increasing further to fresh to locally strong speeds by the end of the week. Slight to moderate seas are expected throughout the basin into midweek, thereafter, seas will build over the western Gulf under increasing southerly flow. Winds are forecast to diminish on Fri and Fri night as a slow moving cold front moves into the basin from the NW. .TONIGHT...E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. .MON...E winds 10 to 15 kt.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida .SYNOPSIS...A dissipating stationary front extends from near 27.5N55W to the Turks and Caicos Islands and to eastern Cuba. Fresh to strong NE winds and locally rough seas south of 25N and west of the front will diminish into early Mon while the front dissipates to a remnant trough. Meanwhile, moderate to fresh trades south of 22N, locally strong near Caribbean Passages, will diminish Mon night, except lingering in the Tropical N Atlantic through midweek. Fresh to strong west winds along with building seas may be seen in the far northern forecast waters Mon night through midweek in advance of a pair of cold fronts which will propagate through the northern waters this week. Otherwise, fairly tranquil marine conditions will prevail for the early part of the week as weak high pressure settles in over the central waters. Looking ahead, high pressure will become centered near Bermuda by the end of the week with moderate to fresh trades across much of the waters. .TONIGHT...NE to E winds 15 to 20 kt S of 27N, and NE to E 10 to 15 kt N of 27N.
