413 AM EST Tue Jan 21 2025

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

.SYNOPSIS...A low pressure has developed over the NW Gulf. This
low will track southeastward through Wed, dragging a strong cold
front across the entire basin. Strong high pressure behind the
front is inducing gale-force N to NE winds currently, likely
becoming strong gales and expanding across much of the northern
and western Gulf this afternoon through early Wed, with the
potential for gusts to storm force across portions of the west
and central Gulf. The front is forecast to exit the basin by Wed
morning with winds diminishing in the afternoon hours. 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 in the area. Looking ahead, a surface trough
is forecast to develop along the E Mexican offshore waters by
Thu evening with strong winds possibly reaching gale-force by
Fri morning. Gales off Veracruz will diminish by Fri evening.
