000 FZNT32 KNHC 241936 OFFN21 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 336 PM EDT Wed May 24 2023 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 front across the northern Gulf will slowly move S through Fri night, followed by moderate to locally fresh N to NE winds E of 90W through Sat morning. Otherwise, weak high pressure will generally dominate the basin through the next several days, supporting gentle to moderate winds. Seas are presently slight, but will build to slight to moderate through Sat with the increasing winds behind the front. Popocatepetl Volcano in Mexico near 19N99W remains in a state of unrest and continues to erupt and produce volcanic ash, however the current ash plume is confined inland and S of the Bay of Campeche. Mariners should still exercise caution in the southern Bay of Campeche in case additional, and more northward plumes develop. If mariners encounter volcanic ash or floating volcanic debris, you are encouraged to report the observation to the National Weather Service by calling 305-229-4424.
