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...A strong arctic cold front extending from SW
Louisiana near 29N92W to southern Texas near 26N97W will sweep
across the rest of the basin through Thu night. A Gale Warning
is effect for the NW Gulf for near gale north winds with
frequent gusts to gale force, and also for offshore of Tampico
for gale-force north winds developing west of the front this
morning through tonight and off Veracruz tonight through Thu
night. These winds will produce rough to very rough seas,
peaking to around 18 ft tonight off Tampico. Winds and seas will
diminish during the weekend. A trough will likely develop from
the frontal remnants over the southwestern Gulf on Fri and
linger through Sat night while weakening. Fresh to strong winds
are expected through the period, becoming more confined to the
waters north of 22N and west of 90W Fri through Sat night.
Conditions improve Sun and Sun night. Otherwise, dense fog is
being reported over the NW Gulf offshore waters ahead of the
front with visibility less than 2 nm, expected to continue
through the next couple of hours.
