NAVTEX Marine Forecast
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
316 PM EST Tue Jan 23 2024

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

.SYNOPSIS...A sharp surface trough extending from the central
Gulf to the NE Gulf is producing strong to near-gale force winds
and rough seas, along with showers. Expect these conditions to
persist through late this afternoon as the trough drifts
northeastward. The trough should weaken tonight, and the winds
and seas will then subside. Dense marine fog is possible near
the Texas and Louisiana coasts through Wed morning. Otherwise,
the pressure gradient between strong high pressure east of the
area and lower pressures over Texas and Mexico will lead to a
continuation of fresh SE winds across most of the Gulf through
Wed. Winds will diminish a bit by late Wed before a weak cold
front moves into the NW Gulf late Wed night. The front will
reach from SE Louisiana to Tampico, Mexico late Thu before
stalling. Another cold front will reach the NW Gulf late Fri
night, extend from SE louisiana to Tampico Sat morning, and from
Tampa Bay to the eastern Bay of Campeche Sun morning. Fresh NW
to N winds will follow this front across the Gulf of Mexico,
with strong winds in the SW Gulf.
