280 FZNT25 KNHC 032012 OFFN04 NAVTEX Marine Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 412 PM EDT Mon Jun 3 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...The Atlantic ridge extends W-SW into the eastern Gulf, and will dominate the basin through the next several days. This pattern will support generally moderate to fresh SE winds in the western Gulf, fresh to occasionally strong near the Yucatan Peninsula, and gentle to moderate winds in the eastern Gulf. By Thu, the ridge will weaken, allowing for winds to diminish somewhat. Hazy conditions due to agricultural fires over Central America and Mexico will continue for the next couple of days, reducing visibility to around 4 nm at times, mainly over the western half of the Gulf. .TONIGHT...E to SE winds 5 to 10 kt.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida .SYNOPSIS...A stationary front from 26N55W extends westward along 26N to the northern Bahamas, and will meander and weaken into a surface trough tonight. A deep-layered upper trough across the W Atlantic and into the SW Caribbean will shift E-NE across the region through Thu. The interaction of the upper trough and the stationary front is expected to lead to elongated surface low pressure across NE portions on Tue, and shift NE and out of the area on Wed. Fresh to strong SW winds are forecast ahead of this trough/low as it move across these waters. Weak high pressure will begin to build across the basin Wed then shift slowly E-NE Thu through Sat. .TONIGHT...E winds 10 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. Chance of tstms. .TUE...E winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 ft.
