834 FZNT27 KNHC 141301 OFFN06 NAVTEX Marine Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 901 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 noted from the Sabine River to the Rio Grande, with a stationary front extending just along the northern Gulf coast from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle. To the SE of these features, as surface trough extends from just offshore the Florida Big Bend to just N of Tampico, Mexico. For waters near and NW of the trough, several squall lines exist within a broader area of strong thunderstorms. 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, pulsing to strong near the Yucatan Peninsula and Yucatan Channel. Winds may weaken somewhat during the upcoming weekend as the gradient relaxes. Northwest Gulf of Mexico .THIS AFTERNOON...NW to N winds 5 to 10 kt.
