Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Gulf of Mexico

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 for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A 1016 mb high pressure centered near 28N91W will
drift ESE in the north-central Gulf through tonight. A stalled
front across the NE Gulf coast states will sink S and settle
north of the northern Gulf today and linger in this area through
Thu. This will increase winds across the northeast and north-
central Gulf with moderate westerly winds. A tropical wave over 
Honduras and the northwestern Caribbean Sea is forecast to move 
across Central America during the next couple of days and emerge 
over the Bay of Campeche, where an area of low pressure could 
form on Friday. Some gradual development of this system is 
possible while it moves NW over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico 
through the weekend.
