Southeast Gulf of Mexico
.SYNOPSIS...Deepening low pressure in the central Gulf is
producing storm force winds north of the low and in the Campeche
region. These winds will drop below storm force tonight, but
gale force winds will continue through Wed morning. High seas
are currently across the western and central basin and will
continue through Wed morning before slowly subsiding below 12 ft
on Wed night. Seas will drop below 8 ft by Thu. Mariners are
urged to exercise extreme caution across the basin due to the
expansive area of storm to gale-force winds and a large area of
very rough to high seas in the area. Looking ahead, a surface
trough is forecast to develop along the E Mexican offshore
waters by Thu evening with strong winds possibly reaching
gale-force by Thu night and continue through Fri evening.
