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...Weak high pressure ridging over the eastern Gulf
will shift eastward through Sat night in response to low
pressure and an associated cold front that is advancing eastward
over the central U.S. The front is expected to reach the Texas
coast Sat, then become stationary before it lifts back north as
a warm front Sun. This front will trigger showers and
thunderstorms over the far NW Gulf Fri night through Sat night.
High pressure from off the Carolina coast will slide southward
early next week setting up an east to west ridge across the
area. This will allow for generally light to moderate east to
southeast winds over the basin through Wed night. Fresh to
strong winds will pulse each evening north and west of the
Yucatan Peninsula through the period as thermal troughs emerge
off the Peninsula to across SW Gulf.
