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 weakening cold front entering the northwestern 
Gulf of Mexico this morning will slowly progress southeastward 
across the basin through Wed before exiting the basin early Thu. 
Fresh to locally strong N to NE winds will occur behind the front
off the coast of Texas this afternoon into early Thu, with fresh
N winds developing across the northeastern Gulf tonight. 
Moderate to locally fresh NE to E winds will then cover much of

will enter the northwestern Gulf late Thu, and move southeastward
through the basin into this weekend. Fresh to locally strong N 
to NE winds and moderate to locally rough seas will occur in the
