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 extends from South Florida to 27N91W
where it becomes a warm front to a weak 1015 mb low over the NW
Gulf near 26N95W. A stationary front then trails from the low to
to 20N97W. A tight gradient between the fronts and strong high
pressure building over the SE CONUS is allowing for strong NE
winds over the northern half of the basin W of 89W, and fresh N
to NE winds E of 89W. The cold front will continue to move
quickly across the Gulf E of 96W through tonight and become
stationary over the SE Gulf on Mon. The low will slowly move
northeastward through Mon night, then east northeastward across
the N central waters through Thu night and the NE Gulf by Fri,
dragging a new cold front across the SW Gulf. The tight gradient
will gradually slackens allowing for the fresh to strong winds
to slightly diminish Mon through early Tue. These winds are
expected to increase again late Tue or Wed as another low
pressure forms over the NW Gulf and tracks northeastward toward
northern Florida.
