221 FZNT32 KNHC 290924 OFFN21 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 524 AM EDT Wed May 29 2024 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 for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...Strong thunderstorms are moving off the Texas and NE Mexico coasts. These storms are producing frequent lightning, gusty winds and locally rough seas. Outside of those storms, weak surface ridging will continue to dominate across the Gulf through Sun. As a result, winds will pulse moderate to fresh during the evenings through the weekend. A weak cold front moving across the far NE Gulf will continue to support gentle W to NW winds over that region this morning. Otherwise, fresh to strong NE to E winds will pulse near the N and W portions of the Yucatan peninsula during the late afternoons and at night for the next two days. Haze west of 89W due to agricultural fires over Central America and Mexico will continue for at least the next couple of days, impacting visibility at times.
