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 fast-moving cold front extends from SE Louisiana to
near Tuxpan, Mexico. ASCAT and marine observations indicate that 
fresh to near gale-force northerly winds are occurring behind 
the front. Gusts may occasionally reach gale force early this 
morning. The front is forecast to reach from Tampa, Florida to 
Veracruz, Mexico this afternoon before it moves E of the basin 
early on Fri. Brief minimal gales are expected off Veracruz with 
the passage of the front this afternoon. Rough to very rough 
seas are expected the strongest winds. Winds and seas will 
diminish across the basin Fri morning through Sat night as high 
pressure develops over the NE Gulf. A surface trough over the 
Yucatan Peninsula will move into the Bay of Campeche at night 
Fri through Sun, enhancing winds to fresh to strong speeds in 
the Peninsula adjacent waters. Looking ahead, the next cold 
front will come off Texas Sun night into Mon.
