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 to locally fresh
winds may pulse in the eastern Bay of Campeche nightly through
the next several days. Looking ahead, a broad area of low
pressure could form 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 early next week.
