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...A ridge will dominate most of the Gulf waters
through Sat night while a weak low with associated trough will
weaken over the NW Gulf and dissipate by Sat. The ridge will
shift eastward on Sun, ahead of the next cold front forecast to
enter the NW Gulf by Sun evening. Fresh to strong southerly
return flow is expected ahead of the front covering the western
half of the Gulf by Sat night, and extending to the NE Gulf Sun
and Sun night. Fresh to strong NW to N winds and rough seas will
also follow the front, forecast to reach from Cape San Blas,
Florida to near Tampico, Mexico by Mon morning, and from near
Tampa Bay to Veracruz, Mexico by Mon evening. The front will
exit the basin Mon night into Tue. High pressure, in the wake of
the front, will cover the Gulf waters on Tue producing gentle to
moderate N to NE winds.
