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 strong N to NW winds will persist across
the western edge of the Gulf until Thu morning. Elsewhere in the
Gulf, high pressure will continue producing moderate to fresh N
to NE winds through Thu. A frontal low pressure is expected to
move off southern Texas into the northwestern Gulf late Thu
afternoon or early Thu evening, and then intensify through Fri.
This system is expected to bring strong to gale force winds and
very rough seas across the northern half of the Gulf.
