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...Surface ridging from the Atlantic that extends
westward across the region will shift eastward tonight as a cold
front moves across eastern Texas. The front will enter the
western Gulf Tue morning, reach from the Florida panhandle to
the Bay of Campeche Wed, then move southeast of the area into
Thu. Northerly winds behind the front are expected to reach gale
force offshore Veracruz late Tue night into early Wed. Fresh to
strong winds and building seas are expected elsewhere west of
the front. Winds and seas will decrease Thu through Fri as high
pressure builds in the wake of the front. The high pressure will
shift eastward through Sat night allowing for fresh to strong
east to southeast winds to develop over the western and central
Gulf.
