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...High pressure is building over the area in the wake
of the recent cold front. A tight gradient between the high
pressure and a trough that extends from Tampico to 18N94W is
allowing for fresh to strong northeast winds over the SW Gulf,
and for fresh N to NE winds over much of the remainder of the
southeastern and central Gulf. These winds will diminish by
early Thu. The high pressure will shift eastward into the
Atlantic Thu night, inducing moderate to fresh return flow
across most of the basin Fri through Sat. A strong cold front is
forecast to enter the NW Gulf Sat evening. The front is forecast
to reach from Tampa Bay to Cancun Sun evening, and exit the
basin by Mon morning. Strong to near-gale force winds are
expected behind the front, with gale force winds possible in the
west-central Gulf and SW Gulf Sat night through Sun evening.
