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 cold front extending from Cape Coral, Florida SW
to the NE Yucatan Peninsula will move SE of the Gulf early on
Thu. Moderate to fresh N to NW winds follow the front, except
for locally strong NW winds in the far NE basin. A squall line
ahead of the front will continue to bring heavy showers and
tstms to the far SE basin through Thu morning, including the
Florida Keys and the Straits of Florida. 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 the end
of the week allowing for mostly fresh E to SE winds to develop
over the western and central Gulf through Sat night, then
diminish Sun. Fresh to strong SE winds then develop over most of
Gulf Mon and Mon night.
