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 1000 mb low pressure system is over the southeast
Gulf near 26N82W. A cold front related to this low extends
across the NW Caribbean. Behind the front, gale force winds
prevail across the Yucatan Channel, with rough to very rough
seas S of 24N. These conditions will prevail through tonight
mainly over the south-central and southeast Gulf as the low
pressure and associated front move east of the basin. Mariners
are urged to exercise caution across the entire Gulf of Mexico,
including outside of the gale warning areas due to the expansive
area of strong to near-gale force winds and rough seas
associated with this weather scenario. Winds and seas will
diminish into mid week. Southerly flow will increase over the
western Gulf late Wed and Thu as low pressure develops over
northeast Mexico and the southern Plains.
