515 FZNT32 KNHC 171504 OFFN21 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1104 AM EDT Thu Jul 17 2025 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.
