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 locally strong SE winds and locally rough 
seas will occur across the central and western Gulf through 
tonight as the pressure gradient tightens between high pressure 
over the eastern Gulf and strengthening low pressure in the 
south-central United States. A cold front associated with the 
aforementioned low will move into the northwestern Gulf tonight, 
leading to fresh N to NE winds in its wake Fri morning into early
Sat. Strong to near-gale force winds and locally very rough seas
will be possible in the southwestern basin offshore of Veracruz 
Fri afternoon through Sat morning. Looking ahead, building high 
pressure this weekend will lead to gentle to moderate winds and 
slight to moderate seas across the basin into early next week.
