000 FZNT32 KNHC 161458 OFFN21 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 958 AM EST Wed Nov 16 2022 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 cold front extends from near Tampa Bay, Florida to the central Bay of Campeche this morning and will move SE and extend across the SE Gulf on Thu morning, and move just SE of the basin by Thu evening or Thu night. Fresh to strong northerly winds, with frequent gusts to gale force within 120 nm of the Mexican coast follow the front. Strong high pressure will begin to build over Texas today, tightening the gradient across the Gulf region. As a result, expect increasing winds and building seas across most of the basin, with gale force winds over the SW Gulf late today through Thu night. High seas will build over the SW Gulf by late Thu. Looking ahead, a trough or low pressure is forecast to develop over the western Gulf during the upcoming weekend. This system could bring gale conditions over most of the western Gulf, and strong winds over the eastern Gulf.
