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...Fresh to strong NW to N winds and rough seas are
expected over the SW Gulf, including the Veracruz area, through
at least Fri as a trough of low pressure develops over the
western Gulf. A tropical depression could form over the next
several days over the NW Caribbean. This system is forecast to
move northwestward over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and the
southern Gulf of Mexico. Interests along the U.S. Gulf Coast
should continue to monitor the progress of this system.
Elsewhere, gentle to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas
will prevail trough Fri. Looking ahead, increasing winds and
building seas are forecast for the northern Gulf during the
upcoming weekend.
