000 FZNT24 KNHC 211519 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1019 AM EST Tue Jan 21 2025 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. GMZ001-220330- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1019 AM EST Tue Jan 21 2025 .SYNOPSIS...A strong frontal system in the Gulf along with strong high pressure behind the front is inducing gale-force N to NE winds off the Texas and northern Mexico coast along with very rough to nearly high seas. These conditions will expand across much of the northern and western Gulf through tonight. There is a potential for gusts to storm force across portions of the west and central Gulf tonight. The front is forecast to exit the basin by Wed morning with gale force winds ending by then. Strong winds will diminish later on Wed and rough seas subsiding by Thu. 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 in the area. Looking ahead, a surface trough is forecast to develop along the E Mexican offshore waters by Thu evening with strong winds possibly reaching gale- force by Fri morning. Gales off Veracruz will diminish by Fri evening. $$ GMZ040-220330- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1019 AM EST Tue Jan 21 2025 ...GALE WARNING TODAY... .TODAY...N to NE winds 30 to 35 kt.
