Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Gulf of America

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 S to SW winds will occur in the 
north-central and northeastern Gulf this morning ahead of the 
next cold front entering the northwestern Gulf. Fresh to strong N
to NE winds and rough seas will occur behind the front today, 
mainly west of 90W. Winds will briefly reach gale force offshore 
of Veracruz this afternoon. Winds will diminish from north to 
south tonight into Mon as the cold front exits the basin and high
pressure builds over the southeastern United States. Looking 
ahead, a cold front will enter the northwestern Gulf by midweek 
and progress southeastward, leading to fresh to strong winds 
across northern and western portions of the basin. Gale force 
winds will be possible west of the front off Tampico, Mexico Wed,
and off Veracruz, Mexico Wed night and Thu.
