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 1015 mb high pressure centered over the N central
Gulf near 27N88W will drift ESE and dissipate tonight. A stalled
front along southern Georgia and Alabama will linger in this
area through Thu, supporting scattered showers and tstms across
the northern coastal waters through Fri. Otherwise, a tropical
wave over the northwestern Caribbean Sea is forecast to move
across Central America and the Yucatan Peninsula today, and
emerge over the Bay of Campeche Thu night, 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. Regardless of development,
moderate to fresh winds are expected across the SW and
west-central gulf Thu evening through Sat night.
