000 FZNT32 KNHC 042036 OFFN21 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 436 PM EDT Fri Oct 4 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...Gusty winds and locally rough seas are active near numerous showers and thunderstorms persisting over the far southwest Gulf, near an area of low pressure. This pattern will maintain fresh to strong NW winds off the coast of Veracruz through Sat. The low pressure may continue to develop over the next several days, supporting moderate to fresh winds across the northern Gulf through Sun. Looking ahead, the low pressure may develop further as moves to the northeast across the central Gulf into early next week, to the south of a frontal boundary moving into the northern Gulf. The low may develop into a tropical depression or storm through the early to middle part of the week as it moves into the eastern Gulf. Regardless of development, increasing winds and building seas are forecast including behind the frontal boundary with thunderstorms increasing in activity and potentially impacting most of the basin.
