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 cold front moving into the central Gulf currently
extends from low pressure 1009 mb just offshore of Destin,
Florida to the central Bay of Campeche near Villahermosa,
Mexico. Strong winds and rough to very rough seas follow the
front. Low clouds and areas of fog may persist across the NE
Texas and Louisiana coastal waters behind the front tonight,
while patchy fog may continue over the northeast Gulf ahead of
the front. Winds and seas will gradually diminish from west to
east Mon through Mon night as the front exits the Gulf. High
pressure will slide eastward across the northern Gulf Tue
through Thu. Looking ahead, expect fresh to strong southerly
winds and building seas across the basin by Fri, ahead of a cold
front moving through the southerly Plains.
