NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
1046 AM EST Mon Jan 20 2025

...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 the Straits of Florida to
the Yucatan Peninsula. Fresh to strong NE to E winds will
prevail N of the front today as it gradually stalls. Low
pressure will form over the NW Gulf tonight, then track
southeastward through Wed, dragging a strong cold front across
the entire basin. Strong high pressure behind the front will
induce gale-force N to NE winds early Tue becoming strong gales
and expanding across much of the northern and western Gulf Tue
afternoon through early Wed, with the potential for gusts to
storm force across portions of the west and central Gulf.
Mariners are urged to exercise extreme caution across the basin
due to the expansive area of gale-force winds and a large area
of very rough to high seas that is expected to accompany this
next frontal system.
