NAVTEX Marine Forecast
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
320 PM EST Thu Mar 6 2025

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

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure dominates the Gulf region. The
pressure gradient between this system and lower pressure E of
Florida supports fresh to strong NW winds across the eastern
Gulf, including the Straits of Florida. Rough seas are within
these winds forecast to diminish to gentle to moderate speeds by
tonight. High pressure will continue to build across the basin
through Fri while moving eastward. On Fri, southerly return flow
will set-up across the western Gulf ahead of the next cold front
that is slated to enter the northwestern Gulf on Sat, producing
widespread fresh to strong N to NW winds and rough seas in its
wake. Gale conditions and rough seas will be possible offshore
Veracruz on Sun.
