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...Strong to near-gale force winds over a portion of
the SW Gulf that includes within 60 nm offshore Veracruz will
diminish this evening. Little change is expected through Sat.
Roungh seas with these winds will slowly subside through the end
of the week. Otherwise, disorganized showers and thunderstorms
over portions of the Gulf of Mexico are associated with a
surface trough. A broad area of low pressure is likely to
develop over the Gulf of Mexico late this weekend or early next
week, but subsequent tropical or subtropical development could
be limited by the system potential interaction with a frontal
boundary. Regardless of development, locally heavy rains could
occur over portions of Mexico during the next few days and over
portions of the Florida Peninsula next week.
