GMZ400-140945- 257 PM CST Mon Jan 13 2025 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure is building into the northwest Gulf in the wake of departing low pressure. Elevated offshore winds will prevail into early Tuesday under the tight pressure gradient aloft. Winds and seas will fall from north to south throughout the morning. The pressure gradient will remain somewhat tight over the central Gulf between high to the north and developing low in the southwest Gulf, resulting in a prolonged period of elevated winds and seas for the 20 - 60 nm waters into midweek. The combination of offshore flow and enhanced predicted low tide levels will bring about a brief period of low water conditions again Tuesday. A Low Water Advisory is in effect Tuesday from 6 AM to 12 PM. $$ GMZ430-140945- Sabine Lake- 257 PM CST Mon Jan 13 2025 ...LOW WATER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM TO NOON CST TUESDAY... .TONIGHT...Northeast winds around 10 knots.
