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 extends from a 1015 mb low pres near
29N91W to Tamaulipas and a few showers are noted near the
boundary. Fresh to locally strong N to NE winds and moderate
seas will occur in the western Gulf behind the front into Fri
afternoon. Localized near-gale force winds will be possible
offshore of northeastern Mexico early on Fri. Mainly moderate or
weaker winds are then expected over the basin Fri evening into
Sun. Looking ahead, a new cold front is expected to enter the
northwestern Gulf late on Sun and sweep over the basin into
early next week, leading to fresh to strong N to NW winds and
building seas in the wake of the front.
