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...An area of broad low pressure, AL93, is centered
over the northern Gulf just south of the coast of Mississippi.
Some development could occur before the system moves westward
into Louisiana later today or tonight, although the chances of
the system developing into a tropical depression are low.
Regardless of development, heavy showers and thunderstorms are
expected over the north-central Gulf through Fri, with erratic
gusty winds and rough seas possible near convection. Elsewhere,
moderate to locally fresh E to NE winds will occur north of the
Yucatan Peninsula and into the eastern Bay of Campeche each
afternoon and evening into next week. Otherwise, high pressure
building over the northeastern Gulf this weekend will support
gentle to moderate winds and seas across the rest of the basin.
