756 FZNT24 KNHC 250155 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 855 PM EST Fri Jan 24 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. GMZ001-251400- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 855 PM EST Fri Jan 24 2025 .SYNOPSIS...A tight pressure gradient between high pressure over eastern Mexico and a persistent trough in the western Gulf is allowing for gale-force winds offshore Veracruz. These winds will diminish to strong speeds late tonight, and the resultant rough to very rough seas will slowly decay through Sat. Otherwise, fresh to strong northerly winds over the south-central and southeastern Gulf will diminish Sat night while winds veer to east to southeast over the western Gulf tonight and Sat as high pressure shifts eastward across the southeastern U.S. Winds are forecast to become fresh to locally strong ahead of low pressure that will be developing in central Texas. By the end of the weekend and into early next week, more tranquil marine conditions are forecast basin-wide as the pressure gradient weakens. Moderate to fresh southeast to south winds are expected to develop over the western Gulf starting Tue night as the high pressure becomes centered over the NE Gulf, then shifts to east of the basin afterward. $$ GMZ040-251400- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 855 PM EST Fri Jan 24 2025 .OVERNIGHT...SE winds 10 to 15 kt.
