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...Moderate to locally fresh E winds will occur this
morning to the east of a trough that extends from 28N89W through
the Yucatan Peninsula. Winds will diminish through this morning,
and gentle to moderate winds will prevail across the basin
through this afternoon. A cold front will move into the
northwestern Gulf of Mexico this evening, and fresh to locally
strong N winds will occur along and behind the front. The front
will dissipate Thu morning over the central basin. High pressure
will build over the central United States on Fri, leading to
moderate N to NE winds across the Gulf. Looking ahead, gentle to
moderate E winds and slight to moderate seas are anticipated for
this weekend.
