NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI, FL
935 PM EST SAT JAN 18 2025
MARINE WEATHER HF VOICE BROADCAST 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.
SYNOPSIS
A COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM NEAR PENSACOLA, FLORIDA
SOUTHWESTWARD TO 26N93W AND TO INLAND MEXICO JUST NORTH OF
TAMPICO. NORTHERLY WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL GRADUALLY
INCREASE TONIGHT, BECOMING STRONG BY EARLY SUN AS THE FRONT
REACHES FROM THE FLORIDA BIG BEND TO NEAR VERACRUZ, MEXICO.
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. WILL BUILD ACROSS THE
BASIN BEHIND THE PROGRESSING FRONT ON SUN TO PRODUCE A BRIEF
PERIOD OF GALE FORCE WINDS SUN AFTERNOON IN THE WESTERN GULF
WATERS OFFSHORE OF TAMPICO AND VERACRUZ. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED
TO STALL ACROSS THE YUCATAN CHANNEL AND STRAITS OF FLORIDA ON
MON AND GRADUALLY DISSIPATE THROUGH TUE. LOW PRESSURE IS
EXPECTED TO FORM OVER THE NW GULF ON MON NIGHT, THEN TRACK
SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH WED, DRAGGING A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS
THE ENTIRE BASIN. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND THE FRONT WILL
INDUCE GALE FORCE NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS EXPANDING ACROSS MUCH
OF THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN GULF TUE AND TUE NIGHT, WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS TO STORM FORCE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
CENTRAL GULF. MARINERS ARE URGED TO EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION
ACROSS THE BASIN, DUE TO THE EXPANSIVE AREA OF GALE FORCE WINDS
AND LARGE AREA OF VERY ROUGH TO HIGH SEAS EXPECTED TO ACCOMPANY
THIS NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM.
