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 ridge dominates the Gulf waters. The pressure
gradient between the ridge and lower pressures over Texas and NE
Mexico will support fresh to locally strong SE to S winds over
the western Gulf today, with fresh winds spreading to the
remainder of the Gulf through Wed, when another cold front is
forecast to enter the NW Gulf. Fresh to strong northerly winds
and building seas will briefly follow the front that will stall
over the western Gulf on Thu while dissipating. A stronger cold
front will enter the NW Gulf Thu evening, reach from the Florida
Big Bend to Veracruz, Mexico Fri evening, and exit the basin by
Sat morning. Gale conditions are possible near Tampico, Mexico
early Fri afternoon, and near Veracruz, Mexico during the early
evening hours. Rough to very rough seas are also expected in the
wake of the front, especially over the SW Gulf.
