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...Fresh to locally strong NE to NW winds occurring
from the southwestern through eastern Gulf of Mexico will slowly
diminish through tonight, in the wake of a cold front in the
northwestern Caribbean. Very rough seas associated with these
winds will subside Thu morning. The next cold front, associated
with low pressure moving through the southern United States, will
enter the northwestern Gulf Thu morning, promoting moderate to
fresh N to NE winds across much of the basin. Winds will increase
to strong speeds offshore of Veracruz and Tampico late Thu
morning before reaching gale force early Fri, and rough to very
rough seas will accompany the winds. Winds and seas will diminish
by Sat in this area. Looking ahead, moderate to fresh NE to SE
winds are expected across the basin this weekend as high pressure
builds in the south-central United States. Locally strong SE
winds and rough seas will be possible offshore of Texas late Sat
into Sun.
