1025 AM EST Fri Jan 24 2025

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

.SYNOPSIS...A tight pressure gradient between high pressure over
eastern Mexico and a persistent trough in the western Gulf is
allowing for strong to gale-force winds offshore Tamaulipas and
Veracruz along with large building seas. The gale winds will
slowly diminish from N to S today, lingering off Veracruz into
the evening. The very large seas will slowly decay through Sat.
Otherwise, moderate to locally fresh N to NE winds will increase
to fresh to strong speeds over the central and SE Gulf this
afternoon into tonight as high pressure builds down from the
north. Winds will veer to the SE in the western Gulf this
weekend and become fresh to locally strong ahead of low pressure
building in the central U.S. By the end of the weekend into
early next week, more tranquil marine conditions are forecast
basin-wide as the pressure gradient weakens.
