349 FZNT32 KNHC 080320 OFFN21 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1020 PM EST Sun Dec 7 2025 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Gulf of America Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. .SYNOPSIS...A weak cold front extends from central Florida southwestward to the west-central Gulf near 26N94W. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms moving eastward are south of the front from 26N to 27.5N and between the Florida coast and 85W. This activity may produce strong gusty winds. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are within 60 nm south of the front between 85W and 88W. The front will weaken further tonight as it drifts southeastward. A cold front has entered the western Gulf along a position from southwest Louisiana to near Brownsville, Texas. This cold front is expected to overtake the weak front on Mon as it sweeps southeastward across the basin through Tue. This will lead to fresh to strong northwest to north winds and building seas in the wake of this front. Gale-force northwest to north winds are expected to briefly occur off Veracruz Mon afternoon into the evening. Winds may reach near gale in the NW Gulf tonight into early Mon. Winds and seas will diminish Tue into Wed as the front stalls across the entrance to the Yucatan Channel and Straits of Florida, and high pressure settles across the central Gulf. Light to gentle winds and slight seas will persist late Wed through Fri night. Gulf of America N of 26N W of 87W .TONIGHT...N winds 10 to 15 kt, shifting to NW 15 to 25 kt after midnight.
