424 FZNT25 KNHC 160903 OFFN04 NAVTEX Marine Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 503 AM EDT Wed Jul 16 2025 ...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed Coastal Waters Forecasts... Southeast Gulf of America .SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure centered across the NW Gulf extends a narrow ridge southeastward to the Yucatan Peninsula, and will meander about the NW Gulf through late Thu. A weak 1012 mb low pressure, Invest AL93, is along the coast of the Florida Big Bend near 30N84W. This system is expected to move generally westward and could emerge or redevelop over the far northeastern to north-central portion of the Gulf, reaching the coast of Louisiana by Thu. If this system moves far enough offshore, environmental conditions over the Gulf appear generally favorable for additional development, and a tropical depression could still form over the next couple of days before the system moves fully inland by the end of the week. Regardless, scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, some with strong gusty winds and locally rough seas, will accompany this system. The Atlantic ridge will build westward across the Gulf along 28N over the weekend. .TODAY...S winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 ft. Scattered showers and isolated tstms. .TONIGHT...SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida .SYNOPSIS...1026 mb high pressure centered near 32N61W extends a ridge westward to offshore the Georgia and South Carolina coasts. This high pressure will build gradually westward across the region and across Florida today through Sat as low pressure across the NE Gulf of America shifts westward. The pressure gradient between the Atlantic ridge and this low pressure will support moderate to fresh SE to S winds across the Bahamas and through the NW zones through early Thu, then continue across the southern Bahamas through Fri night as the high slides west to 75W. High pressure will then weaken over the weekend. .TODAY...SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Scattered showers and isolated tstms. .TONIGHT...E to SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft.
