814 FZNT27 KNHC 152102 OFFN06 NAVTEX Marine Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 502 PM EDT Wed May 15 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 extends from the Florida Big Bend SW to the central Gulf near 25N90W to 22N93W where it transitions to a stationary front that continues to Tamiahua, Mexico. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue across the eastern Gulf between Spring Hill, Florida and Marco Island this evening in association with a pre-frontal trough. The front will lift as a warm front over the western half of the basin tonight into Thu while it stalls E of 90W. This will shift the focus of heavy rain and thunderstorms to the NW Gulf on Thu. Elsewhere, moderate to fresh return flow will dominate the basin, pulsing to locally strong near the Yucatan Peninsula and the Bay of Campeche. Winds will slightly weaken during the weekend as the gradient relaxes. Meanwhile, haze due to agricultural fires in Mexico continues across most of the western Gulf and Bay of Campeche.
