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 surface trough extends along 96W, with fresh to
strong N winds to the W of it and rough seas. A frontal low
pressure is expected to move off southeastern Texas into the
northwestern Gulf this afternoon or evening, and then intensify
through Fri. This system is expected to bring strong to gale-
force winds for the northwestern Gulf tonight through Fri, and
fresh to strong winds across the north-central and northeastern
Gulf Fri through Sat. Seas in these areas are anticipated to be
rough to very rough. The cold front associated with this low
will move SE across the basin producing strong to near-gale
force NW to N winds and very rough seas over the west-central
and southwestern Gulf Fri through Sat.
