Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Gulf of America

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 cold front moving into the central Gulf currently
reaches from Pensacola, Florida to near Villahermosa, Mexico.
Strong winds and building seas follow the front, with winds
reaching gale force near Veracruz. Drier air behind the front is
starting to clear out areas of fog and haze over the northwest
Gulf, but patches of fog may persist over the northeast Gulf
ahead of the front through the evening. Winds and seas will
gradually diminish from west to east Mon through Mon night as
the front exits the Gulf. High pressure will slide eastward
across the northern Gulf Tue through Thu. Looking ahead, expect
fresh to strong southerly winds and building seas across the
basin by Fri, ahead of a cold front moving through the southerly
Plains.
