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 high pressure ridge between the Bahamas and
Bermuda interacting with a strong extratropical low over the
U.S. Midwest is forcing fresh to strong SE to S winds over the W
and central Gulf of Mexico. As the extratropical low pulls
northeastward, these winds should diminish over most of the Gulf
by Thu. However, a diurnal trough developing over the Yucatan
Peninsula during the day will induce fresh to strong E to SE
winds over the SW Gulf nightly for the next several days.
Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds should prevail through Sun
night.
