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 pressure gradient between the Bermuda High
and low pressure over south-central U.S. will continue forcing
fresh to near-gale SE winds across the basin today. The moist SE
flow may allow areas of sea fog to persist across the northern
Gulf into this morning. A strong late-season cold front will
emerge off of the Texas coast tonight. Fresh to near gale N
winds and rapidly building seas will follow the front over the
western Gulf Sun and Mon, with northerly gales forecast near
Tampico on Sun morning, and off Veracruz Sun afternoon. The cold
front will extend from the Florida panhandle to the eastern Bay
of Campeche Mon followed by fresh to strong N winds. The front
will weaken as it moves southeast of the area Tue followed by
weak high pressure over the northern Gulf. Winds and seas will
diminish accordingly through Tue night in all but the far
southeast Gulf where fresh winds and rough seas may persist.
