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...Moderate to locally fresh S to SE winds will occur
across the central and eastern Gulf this morning as the pressure
gradient strengthens between a cold front moving through the NW
Gulf and building high pressure over the western Atlantic. Winds
may pulse to strong speeds in the central Gulf. Winds will turn
to the NW to NE behind the aforementioned cold front, with fresh
to locally strong winds possible today as the front moves
southeastward. Winds will briefly reach gale force in the
southwestern Gulf offshore of Veracruz this evening, with strong
winds occurring through early Sat. Locally very rough seas will
accompany these winds. The front will stall then dissipate this
weekend, and ridging will build over the basin, supporting gentle
to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas across the Gulf
this weekend into early next week.
