Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Gulf of Mexico

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...Gusty winds and locally rough seas are active near
numerous showers and thunderstorms persisting over portions of
the SW Gulf, near a broad area of area of low pressure. This
pattern will maintain fresh to strong NW winds off the coast of
Veracruz through at least Sat. The low pressure may continue to
develop over the next several days, supporting moderate to fresh
winds across the northern and western Gulf through Sat night.
Looking ahead, the low pressure may develop further as moves
eastward or northeastward across the Gulf of Mexico, to the south
of a frontal boundary moving into the northern Gulf. The low may
develop into a tropical or subtropical depression or storm late
this weekend or early next week as it moves into the eastern
Gulf. Regardless of development, increasing winds and building
seas are forecast including behind the frontal boundary and near
the low with thunderstorms increasing in activity and potentially
impacting most of the basin.
