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 strong cold front extends from Apalachee Bay to
25N88W and to the eastern Bay of Campeche. This front will 
quickly move east-southeast across the remainder of the eastern
Gulf tonight to southeast of the area by late tonight followed
by strong high pressure that will settle in over the NW Gulf in
its wake. The very tight gradient between the high pressure and
the front is allowing for gale force winds to occur over about
just the entire forecast waters, with storm force wind in the SW
Gulf. These conditions will gradually diminish through Thu night
as the high pressure over the NW Gulf shifts eastward to the NE
Gulf by the weekend. Prior to that, another cold front will
sweep across the NE Gulf Fri night and Sat. The high pressure
will shift to east of NE Florida by Mon afternoon. This will
allow for fresh to strong return flow to develop over the
western Gulf beginning late Sat and spreading to the central
Gulf by early next week.
