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 cold front extending from northeast Florida
southwestward to 29N83W to 25N90W and westward to just inland
Mexico at 24N98W will move east of the gulf tonight. High
pressure building over the Gulf in the wake of the front will
support gentle to moderate north to northeast winds through Tue
night. Winds over the basin will become northeast to east Wed
through early Thu, except for southeast to south winds over the
far western gulf in return flow as high pressure in the wake of
the front shifts to the northeast gulf. On Fri, the high will
have moved into the western Atlantic, with a ridge extending
westward across the northern gulf waters. This will allow for
mainly moderate east to southeast winds to exist over the basin.
A weak thermal trough will move off the Yucatan Peninsula and
over the eastern Bay of Campeche during the mornings and
dissipate in the early afternoons beginning Wed.
