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 will reach the NW Gulf tonight, extend
from SW Florida to near Tampico, Mexico by Wed night into Thu,
then exit the basin on Thu while weakening. Fresh to strong
winds will follow the front through early Thu. Southerly return
flow will increase across the NW Gulf by Thu night ahead of the
next cold front forecast to enter the region Fri night. A low
pressure system could develop along the frontal boundary over
the SW Gulf during the upcoming weekend. Fresh to strong winds
and building seas are expected in association with the
developing low and cold front. Otherwise, smoke from forest
fires in southern Mexico could cause haze and reduced
visibilities over the SW Gulf for the next few days.
