NAVTEX Marine Forecast
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
817 AM EST Tue Feb 28 2023

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

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge will continue to dominate the Gulf waters
through Wed night. Expect southerly winds, gentle to moderate
for the eastern Gulf, and moderate to occasional fresh over the
western Gulf. This moist southerly flow will continue to favor
the development of marine fog across the northern Gulf during
night and early morning hours. Fresh to locally strong winds
will pulse each night into the early morning hours near and
northwest of the Yucatan Peninsula due to a thermal trough.
Southerly flow will increase and reach fresh to strong by Thu
ahead of a cold front forecast to move eastward across the Gulf
on Fri. These winds could reach near-gale force across the
northern Gulf.
