000 FZNT32 KNHC 152130 OFFN21 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 430 PM EST Fri Nov 15 2024 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Gulf of Mexico Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. .SYNOPSIS...A cold front currently extending from central Florida southwestward into the eastern Bay of Campeche will continue to meander southeastward through tonight before dissipating. Moderate to locally fresh NE winds will occur along and behind the front. A tightening pressure gradient between Tropical Storm Sara in the NW Caribbean and building high pressure in the southeastern U.S. will support widespread moderate to locally fresh E winds over southern and eastern portions of the basin tonight through Sat, with widespread moderate to fresh E to SE winds developing across much of the basin Sat night, with the exception of the Bay of Campeche. SE winds will become strong offshore of Texas late Sun into early next week ahead of a strong cold front moving through the Southern Plains. Rough seas in SE swell will accompany the winds. Looking ahead, Tropical Storm Sara is expected to quickly weaken as the system moves over the Yucatan Peninsula this weekend before emerging into the Bay of Campeche early next week as a remnant low. Locally strong winds and rough seas will be possible surrounding the system. Gulf of Mexico N of 26N W of 87W .TONIGHT...E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 4 to 5 ft. .SAT...E winds 10 to 15 kt.
