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...The pressure gradient between high pressure over the
SE United States and low pressure over Mexico will support fresh
to locally strong winds over the W half of the basin. Gentle to
moderate winds will prevail elsewhere. Winds will weaken across
the basin Thu as the next front approaches. The front will reach
across the western zones Thu night, from SE Louisiana to
Veracruz, Mexico by early Fri, from the western Florida
Panhandle to the eastern Bay of Campeche by early Sat, then from
the Florida Big Bend to the Yucatan Peninsula early Sun. Smoke
from agricultural fires in southeastern Mexico is creating hazy
conditions in some sections of the western Gulf, with the lowest
reported visibility near the SW Gulf coast.
