000 FZNT25 KNHC 260258 OFFN04 NAVTEX Marine Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1058 PM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024 ...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed Coastal Waters Forecasts... Southeast Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...A ridge across the Gulf region is allowing for gentle to moderate E to SE winds across the eastern Gulf, and moderate to fresh SE winds over the western Gulf. The pressure gradient will tighten over the Gulf beginning tonight resulting in increasing east to southeast fresh to strong winds over just about the entire basin through Sun night. Seas will build to 10 ft in the NW Gulf on Sun. Meanwhile, winds will pulse to fresh to strong speeds near the Yucatan Peninsula each evening through the forecast period. .OVERNIGHT...E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft. .FRI...E to SE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. .FRI NIGHT...E winds 20 to 25 kt. Seas 6 to 8 ft. .SAT...E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 6 to 8 ft. .SAT NIGHT...E to SE winds 20 to 25 kt. Seas 6 to 9 ft. .SUN...E to SE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 6 to 9 ft in E swell. .SUN NIGHT...E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 6 to 8 ft. .MON...E to SE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 5 to 7 ft. .MON NIGHT...E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 5 to 7 ft. .TUE...E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft. .TUE NIGHT...E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 5 to 7 ft. Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida .SYNOPSIS...A cold front that is presently northwest of the area will merge with a frontal trough that extends from 31N61W to eastern Dominican Republic late on Fri. The cold front will reach from near 31N58W to 26N65W to eastern Cuba by Sat morning, and from near 25N55W to Hispaniola by Sun morning, then stall and weaken into a trough over the far southeastern part late Sun through Mon night. North swell behind the front will build seas to 8 to 11 ft over most of the area northeast of the Bahamas by Sun. Strengthening high pressure in the wake of the front will result in fresh to strong north to northeast winds behind the front from late Fri through Sun. By late Sun, these winds are expected to be at mainly fresh speeds south of 29N and west of 60W. At that time, fresh to strong west to northwest winds are expected over the far northeast forecast waters along with building seas. Rather tranquil conditions are expected Tue and Tue night as high pressure becomes centered over the NW part of the offshore waters, with the induced gradient supporting fresh to locally strong northeast to east winds over the southern waters. .OVERNIGHT...S of 27N, NE to E winds 10 to 15 kt.
