000 FZNT27 KNHC 161502 OFFN06 NAVTEX Marine Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1002 AM EST Wed Nov 16 2022 ...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed Coastal Waters Forecasts... .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near Tampa Bay, Florida to the central Bay of Campeche this morning and will move SE and extend across the SE Gulf on Thu morning, and move just SE of the basin by Thu evening or Thu night. Fresh to strong northerly winds, with frequent gusts to gale force within 120 nm of the Mexican coast follow the front. Strong high pressure will begin to build over Texas today, tightening the gradient across the Gulf region. As a result, expect increasing winds and building seas across most of the basin, with gale force winds over the SW Gulf late today through Thu night. High seas will build over the SW Gulf by late Thu. Looking ahead, a trough or low pressure is forecast to develop over the western Gulf during the upcoming weekend. This system could bring gale conditions over most of the western Gulf, and strong winds over the eastern Gulf.
