000 FZNT24 KNHC 222106 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 406 PM EST Wed Nov 22 2017 Offshore Waters Forecast 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. GMZ001-230915- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 406 PM EST Wed Nov 22 2017 .SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from Fl Panhandle near 30N85.5W to 1012 mb low near 26N87W. A cold front extends from the 1012 mb low near 26N87W, to 24N94W and 18.5N95W, to inland Mexico near 22N100W. The low will track east-northeastward slowly, to the far eastern Gulf waters through early Friday, before moving inland central Florida Friday afternoon, pushing the cold front to the far SE waters by Saturday. A tight pressure gradient behind the front will bring gale-force conditions to much of the western waters for rest of today, except to continue in the far SW waters into early Thursday. High pressure will build across the area in the wake of the front through Sunday, allowing for winds and seas to decrease. $$ GMZ011-230915- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 406 PM EST Wed Nov 22 2017 .TONIGHT...N winds 20 to 25 kt.
