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 extends from the Florida panhandle to
the NW Caribbean Sea. The front will drift eastward in the next
couple of days, exiting the basin on Tue. Scattered showers and
isolated thunderstorms will continue ahead of the front. Farther
west, a trough is moving across the northern Gulf of America,
supporting pulsing moderate to fresh W to NW winds across the
northern basin today into Tue. The trough will also induce a few
showers and isolated thunderstorms in the northern Gulf. Looking
ahead, high pressure will build across the Gulf by midweek. A
strengthening pressure gradient between deepening low pressure
in the central United States and the aforementioned high will
support fresh to locally strong S to SE winds offshore of Texas
and Mexico Tue through late week.
