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 surface trough, remnants of Rafael, just S of
Louisiana is forecast to merge with a cold front later today.
The front will then move across the NE basin through Thu night.
Moderate to fresh E to SE winds over the eastern half of the
basin will reach strong speeds in the NE Gulf and the Straits of
Florida today as the pressure gradient tightens. Moderate to
fresh northerly winds will develop over the western half of the
Gulf early on Thu and spread over the eastern Gulf through Fri
in the wake of the front. Looking ahead, a broad area of low
pressure moving to the western Caribbean today has a high chance
of becoming a tropical cyclone within the next two days. The
system is forecast to move slowly NW by early next week and
reach the S Gulf waters by Tue with dangerous winds and seas.
