086 FZNT32 KNHC 070921 OFFN21 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 421 AM EST Sun Dec 7 2025 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 stationary front extends from Siesta Key, Florida to 26N95W. A few showers are seen north of the boundary. Moderate or lighter winds and slight to moderate seas prevail across the basin and will persist through this evening as the front weakens and drifts northward. A cold front is expected to enter the NW Gulf tonight and overtake the current front, while sweeping across the basin into early next week. This will lead to fresh to strong N to NW winds and building seas in the wake of the front. Gale-force NW to N winds are forecast off Veracruz Mon evening. Winds and seas will diminish Tue into Wed as the front stalls across the Yucatan Channel and Straits of Florida, and high pressure settles across the central Gulf. Light to gentle winds and slight seas will persist late Wed through the end of next week. Gulf of America N of 26N W of 87W .TODAY...SW winds 10 to 15 kt, shifting to NW in the afternoon.
