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 sharp surface trough extending from the central
Gulf to the NE Gulf is producing strong to near-gale force winds
and rough seas, along with showers and thunderstorms. Expect
these conditions to persist through today as the trough drifts
northeastward. The trough should weaken tonight, and the winds
and seas will then subside. Dense marine fog is possible near
the Texas and Louisiana coasts through Wed morning. Otherwise,
the pressure gradient between strong high pressure east of the
area and lower pressures over Texas and Mexico will lead to a
continuation of fresh SE winds across most of the Gulf through
Wed. Winds will diminish a bit by late Wed before a weak cold
front moves into the NW Gulf toward the end of the week.
