NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
332 AM EST Mon Jan 20 2025

...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available
through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed
Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from the Florida Keys
southwestward to near the northeast part of the Yucatan
Peninsula. Strong to near gale force northerly winds will
prevail N of the front overnight tonight as it moves SE and
gradually stalls across the Yucatan Channel and Straits of
Florida Mon through Mon night. Low pressure will form over the
NW Gulf tonight, 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 early Tue becoming strong gales and expanding
across much of the northern and western Gulf Tue afternoon
through early Wed, with the potential for gusts to storm force
across portions of the west and central Gulf. Mariners are urged
to exercise extreme caution across the basin due to the
expansive area of gale force winds and a large area of very
rough to high seas that is expected to accompany this next
frontal system.
