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 dominates the Gulf waters producing
moderate to fresh N to NE winds, except S of 24N where fresh to
strong NW to N winds prevail. The high pressure will move
eastward towards the Carolinas by tonight. As a result, winds
will veer to the E and SE with improving marine conditions. The
next cold front will enter the NW Gulf by late Thu, reaching
from the Florida Big Bend to near Tampico, Mexico by Fri
morning, and the far SE Gulf by Fri night into Sat morning.
Gale-force winds and building seas are expected over the SW
Gulf, in the wake of the front, Fri night into Sat morning.
Strong high pressure will follow the front, keeping winds in the
fresh to strong speeds over most of the Gulf waters through Mon.
