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...Strong high pressure building across the eastern
United States will support strong winds over the northern and
eastern Gulf of Mexico into tonight, with easterly gales
offshore Florida. Low pressure will form in the SW Gulf tonight,
then move NE Sat and inland across the Florida Big Bend Sat
night. This will produce additional gales in the NE Gulf
beginning Sat. Thunderstorms in association with this low will
provide locally even higher winds and seas Sat and Sat night. A
cold front will trail from the low, exiting the Gulf Sun
morning. Strong north winds will spill into the western and
northern Gulf Sat into Sun behind the front. High pressure will
then settle in over the area through early next week allowing
for marine conditions to improve.
