000 FZNT32 KNHC 012137 OFFN21 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 537 PM EDT Tue Oct 1 2024 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 broad trough of low pressure is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms that extends from the southwestern Caribbean Sea into the southern Gulf of Mexico. Environmental conditions could support some gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression could form towards the end of this week or this weekend as the broader disturbance moves fully into the 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. Gulf of Mexico N of 26N W of 87W .TONIGHT...NE winds 10 to 15 kt.
