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...Weak surface ridging over the Gulf waters will
support gentle to locally moderate easterly winds and slight
seas through the upcoming weekend. Moderate winds may pulse in
the eastern Bay of Campeche nightly through the next several
days. A cold front is forecast to clip the far NE waters today
into Fri with little change in winds and seas. Looking ahead, a
broad area of low pressure could form late this weekend or early
next week over the western and NW Caribbean Sea. Thereafter,
gradual development of this system is possible, and a tropical
depression could form as the system moves slowly to the N or NW
over the NW Caribbean Sea and into the SE Gulf of Mexico through
the middle part of next week. Regardless of development, winds
and seas will start increasing across the SE Gulf by late Mon.
