000 FZNT24 KNHC 021308 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 908 AM EDT Wed Oct 2 2024 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. GMZ001-030115- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 908 AM EDT Wed Oct 2 2024 .SYNOPSIS...A Gale Warning has been issued for a portion of the SW Gulf, including offshore Veracruz as a tight pressure gradient between low pressure in the Bay of Campeche and high pressure to its NW is allowing for gale force winds to exist there. These winds are expected to diminish to near gale tonight through Thu morning and to fresh to strong Thu afternoon and Thu night. Otherwise, a broad trough of low pressure is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms from the southwestern Caribbean Sea into the southern Gulf of Mexico. Environmental conditions could support some gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression could form over the weekend as the broader disturbance moves fully into the Gulf of Mexico. Interests along the U.S. Gulf Coast should continue to monitor the progress of this system. Elsewhere, gentle to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas will prevail trough Fri. Looking ahead, increasing winds and building seas are forecast for the NE and north-central Gulf during the upcoming weekend. $$ GMZ040-030115- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 908 AM EDT Wed Oct 2 2024 .TODAY...NE winds 10 to 15 kt.
