748 FZNT25 KNHC 292127 OFFN04 NAVTEX Marine Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 527 PM EDT Fri Aug 29 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 dominates the area. A stationary front extending from just inland northern Florida westward to southeastern Louisiana will linger through the weekend, then shift southward some as a cold front early next week as low pressure develops along it and tracks northeastward to east of the southeastern U.S. coast. The front will help maintain unsettled weather conditions, with locally hazardous winds and seas mainly along and just offshore the northern Gulf coast through the weekend. Some of these conditions may spread southward some over the offshore waters. The weak gradient in place will maintain mainly gentle to moderate winds and slight to locally moderate seas through the period. .TONIGHT...E winds 10 kt. Seas 3 ft or less. Winds and seas higher in and near scattered showers and thunderstorms. .SAT...SE to S winds 10 kt in the morning, becoming variable less than 5 kt. Seas 3 ft or less. Scattered showers and thunderstorms. .SAT NIGHT...S of 24N, N to NE winds 10 kt, shifting to E late. N of 24N, variable winds less than 5 kt. Seas 3 ft or less. Scattered showers and thunderstorms. .SUN...S of 24N, SE to S winds 10 kt in the morning, becoming variable less than 5 kt. N of 24N, variable winds less than 5 kt. Seas 3 ft or less. Scattered showers and thunderstorms. .SUN NIGHT...NW to N winds 10 kt in the evening, becoming variable less than 5 kt. Seas 3 ft or less. .MON...Variable winds less than 5 kt. Seas 3 ft or less. .MON NIGHT...Variable winds less than 5 kt. Seas 3 ft or less. .TUE...S of 24N, variable less than 5 kt. Variable winds less than 5 kt in the morning. N of 24N, W winds 10 kt in the afternoon. Seas 3 ft or less. .TUE NIGHT...Variable winds less than 5 kt S of 24N, and W 10 kt N of 24N. Seas 3 ft or less. .WED...SW to W winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft. .WED NIGHT...S of 24N, variable winds less than 5 kt, becoming S to SW 10 kt late. N of 24N, SW to W winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida .SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from near 31N73W to 30N77W, to inland northern Florida and continuing well west from there. The combination of this feature with an upper level trough passing east of NE Florida is resulting in scattered to numerous showers across most of the western half of the offshore waters. Low pressure is expected to form along the front west of the area and track ENE to offshore the southeastern United States Sat night through Mon. As this happens, the stationary front will transition to a cold front that will slowly sink southward through late Mon. Behind it, strengthening high pressure will surge southward along the southeastern U.S. coast increasing the gradient behind the front leading to fresh northeast to east winds N of 29N and W of 79W Mon night into Tue. Expect for the scattered showers and thunderstorms to continue through the weekend, except into early next week for the northwest portion of the area. Elsewhere, high pressure will remain in control of the general weather pattern providing for a gentle to moderate anticyclonic wind flow. .TONIGHT...NE to E winds 5 to 10 kt, shifting to SE after midnight. Seas 2 to 4 ft. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. .SAT...S winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft. Scattered showers and thunderstorms. .SAT NIGHT...S of 27N, W to NW winds 5 to 10 kt, shifting to SE to S late. N of 27N, S to SW winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft. Scattered showers and thunderstorms. .SUN...W winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft. Scattered showers and thunderstorms. .SUN NIGHT...NW to N winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. .MON...W to NW winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. .MON NIGHT...NE winds 5 to 10 kt, shifting to SE to S after midnight. Seas 3 to 4 ft. .TUE...S to SW winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. .TUE NIGHT...S winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. .WED...SW winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. .WED NIGHT...SW winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft.
