NAVTEX Marine Forecast
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
335 PM EDT Tue Mar 29 2022

...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available
through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed
Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong southerly flow and rough seas will
develop across the basin tonight. Frequent gusts to gale force
are expected north of 22N and west of 87W, with building seas of
up to 12 to 14 ft across the central and north-central Gulf on
Wed and Wed evening. These hazardous marine conditions will be
the result of a strong pressure gradient between high pressure
over the western Atlantic and a deepening low pressure over
Texas and northern Mexico. A cold front will approach the coast
of Texas by Wed evening, and extend from the western Florida
Panhandle to near Veracruz, Mexico by Thu evening. The front is
forecast to stall and gradually dissipate into the upcoming
weekend.
