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...Ridging extends through the Gulf of Mexico as high 
pressure strengthens in the northwestern Atlantic. Moderate to 
fresh E to NE winds will prevail this morning in the central and 
eastern Gulf, with moderate to locally fresh SE winds occurring 
in the western basin. Thereafter, gentle to moderate winds and 
slight to moderate seas are expected through Wed. A weakening 
cold front will enter the northwestern Gulf of Mexico Wed 
evening, and fresh to strong N to NW winds will occur along and 
behind the front. The front will weaken and dissipate over the 
central Gulf by early Thu. Looking ahead, building high pressure 
over the south-central United States will lead to moderate N to 
NE winds and slight to moderate seas across the basin Thu through
Sat.
