000 FZNT32 KNHC 021953 OFFN21 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 353 PM EDT Wed Oct 2 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...Gale force winds over a portion of the SW Gulf that includes within 60 nm offshore Veracruz will diminish to just below gale force early tonight. These winds are expected to diminish to fresh to strong Thu, with little through Sat. Seas to around 12 ft with these winds will slowly subside through the end of the week. Otherwise, a broad trough of low pressure is producing disorganized areas of showers and thunderstorms over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and the southwestern 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, and for just about the entire entire basin early next week.
