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 ridge extends from the SE of United States into
the Gulf waters. Under the influence of this system, mainly
gentle to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas will
prevail through Wed, with the exception of moderate to fresh NE
to E winds over the SE Gulf and the Straits of Florida today. A
weak cold front will reach the NW Gulf of Mexico by Wed and
dissipate over the northern Gulf by early Thu. Looking ahead,
building high pressure over the south-central United States in
the wake of the front will lead to moderate N to NE winds and
slight to moderate seas across the basin Thu through Sat.
