319 FZNT27 KNHC 180248 OFFN06 NAVTEX Marine Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 948 PM EST Thu Nov 17 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 the Yucatan Channel to along the N coast of the Yucatan Peninsula to the eastern Bay of Campeche where it has stalled and reaches to a 1017 mb low pres area near 21.5N95W. The remainder of the cold front will stall across the Yucatan Channel this evening. The stationary front will become a sharp surface trough over the SW Gulf on Fri. Gale force NW winds will continue within about 120 nm of the Mexican coast near Veracruz through tonight while strong winds prevail elsewhere over the SW Gulf, and fresh to strong in the central Gulf. The surface trough will extend from the SW Gulf to the NW Gulf over the weekend while low pres lingers along it. The gradient between this possible low pres and high pres across the south-central U.S. will produce strong to gale force winds across much of the Gulf of Mexico late Sat through Sun night. Conditions should gradually improve early next week. Northwest Gulf of Mexico ...GALE WARNING... .TONIGHT...NE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 5 to 7 ft. Chance of showers. .FRI...NE to E winds 15 to 20 kt.
