248 FZNT24 KNHC 032033 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of America NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 433 PM EDT Sat May 3 2025 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of America 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. GMZ001-040815- Synopsis for the Gulf of America 433 PM EDT Sat May 3 2025 .SYNOPSIS...A slow moving cold front extending from eastern Louisiana southwestward to 28N94W and to inland NE Mexico will reach from the Florida Big Bend region to the central Gulf Sun, then stall from north-central Florida to the east-central Gulf Sun night and weaken into Mon. A pre-frontal trough stretches from southwestern Louisiana to 28N93W. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are present east of both of these features north of 22N.Otherwise, moderate to fresh east to southeast winds are south of 26N, and gentle to moderate winds elsewhere. East winds will pulse to fresh to strong speeds north of the Yucatan peninsula and over the Bay of Campeche at night through the period in association with a diurnal trough, while mainly moderate to locally fresh east to southeast winds and moderate seas are expected across the Straits of Florida through Wed. High pressure will then build southward across the Gulf early next week leading to mostly moderate to fresh easterly winds over most of the forecast zones early next week, except gentle to moderate in the NE Gulf, increasing to fresh to strong over the western Gulf by early Tue as the pressure gradient tightens. Another weak front may reach the NW Gulf late Wed night or early Thu. Smoke from agricultural fires in southeastern Mexico is creating hazy conditions in some sections of the western Gulf, with the lowest reported visibility in the SW Gulf coast. $$ GMZ040-040815- NW Gulf of America including Stetson Bank- 433 PM EDT Sat May 3 2025 .TONIGHT...NE winds 10 to 15 kt.
