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...A Gale Warning has been issued for a portion of the
SW Gulf, including offshore Veracruz as a tight pressure
gradient between low pressure in the Bay of Campeche and high
pressure to its NW is allowing for gale force winds to exist
there. These winds are expected to diminish to near gale tonight
through Thu morning and to fresh to strong Thu afternoon and Thu
night. Otherwise, a broad trough of low pressure is producing a
large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms 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 over the
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 NE and north-central Gulf during the upcoming
weekend.
