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...1029 mb high pressure over North Carolina spreads
ridging into the central Gulf, as a cold front moves E over
west-central Texas. The resultant pressure gradient between
these two features will support fresh SE to S winds across the
Gulf of Mexico through Wed. The cold front over Texas will move
over the western Gulf Wed afternoon. Fresh to strong northerly
winds and building seas will briefly follow the front that will
stall over the west-central Gulf on Thu while dissipating. A
stronger cold front will enter the NW Gulf Thu night, reach from
the Florida Big Bend to Merida, Mexico Fri evening, and exit the
basin by Sat morning. Gale conditions are possible near Tampico,
Mexico early Fri afternoon, and offshore Veracruz, Mexico during
the evening hours. Gales could persist over the central and
western Bay of Campeche through Fri night and into Sat morning.
Rough to very rough seas are also expected in the wake of the
front, especially over the SW Gulf.
