000 FZNT27 KNHC 151524 OFFN06 NAVTEX Marine Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1124 AM EDT Wed May 15 2024 ...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 Mexico Beach, Florida SW to Tampico, Mexico. Showers and thunderstorms are expected across the NE Gulf today in association with a pre-frontal trough just N of Tampa Bay. The front will lift as a warm front later today and linger across the northern Gulf over the next few days. This will shift the focus of heavy rain and thunderstorms to the northern Gulf on Thu and Fri. Elsewhere, moderate to fresh return flow will dominate the basin, pulsing to locally strong near the Yucatan Peninsula and the Bay of Campeche. Winds will slightly weaken during the weekend as the gradient relaxes. Meanwhile, haze due to agricultural fires in Mexico continues across most of the western Gulf and Bay of Campeche.
