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 weak Atlantic ridge will extend westward into the
Gulf through Fri. Southerly winds will increase Tuesday and
Wednesday over the western Gulf as the pressure gradient between
high pressure ridging over the central Gulf and low pressure
over W Texas tightens. The gradient will weaken late on
Wednesday as the ridge begins to lift N to the northern Gulf.
This will allow the southerly winds to diminish.
