428 FZNT27 KNHC 160903 OFFN06 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... .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. Northwest Gulf of America .TODAY...SW to W winds 10 to 15 kt, shifting to E to SE in the afternoon. Seas 3 to 4 ft.
