NAVTEX Marine Forecast
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
427 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...

.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.
