NAVTEX Marine Forecast
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
1021 PM EST Sat Feb 3 2024

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

.SYNOPSIS...A deepening low pressure system over the
north-central Gulf will move across the NE Gulf on Sun. The
associated cold front, currently over the central Gulf, will
move across the eastern Gulf Sun, and then exit to the southeast
of the Gulf Sun afternoon. Winds and seas will increase across
the Gulf ahead of the front and low pressure, reaching gale
force over the north- central and eastern Gulf tonight into Sun
morning. Strong to gale force W to NW winds and rough to very
rough seas will follow the low pressure and front. These
hazardous marine conditions are forecast to affect most of the
Gulf region. Mariners are urged to exercise caution tonight
through Mon night across the Gulf of Mexico, including outside
of the gale warning areas due to the expansive area of strong to
near-gale force winds associated with the successive weather
systems. The large wind fields will build rough to very rough
seas across much of the Gulf of Mexico through Mon night. Sea
heights of 12 to 18 ft are expected.
