NAVTEX Marine Forecast
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL
526 AM EDT Tue May 14 2024

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

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front is stretching across the NW Gulf with
strong thunderstorms ahead of it in the north-central and
northeast basin. A gale force warning is in effect through early
this morning due to the strong thunderstorms along the Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama and western Florida coast. Outside of the
coastal waters, these thunderstorms could bring strong to
temporary gale force winds and rough seas. The front will linger
across the northern Gulf over the next few days. This will cause
heavy rain and thunderstorms over the northern basin through Wed.
Meanwhile, moderate to fresh return flow will dominate the
basin. Winds may weaken somewhat during the upcoming weekend as
the gradient relaxes. Meanwhile, haze due to agricultural fires
in Mexico continues across most of the western Gulf.
