The pressure gradient will tighten over the Gulf starting Thu night resulting in increasing east to southeast fresh to strong winds over just about the entire basin through Sun night.

Meanwhile, winds will pulse to fresh to strong speeds near the Yucatan Peninsula each evening through the period. $$ Expires:202404251500;;325462 FZNT24 KNHC 250255 OFFNT4 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1055 PM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024 Offshore Waters Forecast for the Gulf of Mexico Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves.
