318 FZNT32 KNHC 200306 OFFN21 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1006 PM EST Sun Jan 19 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 Naples, Florida southwestward to the northwest part of the Yucatan Peninsula and to the eastern Bay of Campeche to inland Mexico at 19N93W. 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 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 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.
