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...High pressure extending westward from the western
Atlantic to the central Gulf of Mexico will be in control of the
wind flow pattern over most of the area through late Sat. A
moist return flow across the northern Gulf is likely to lead to
patchy areas of fog at night through Sat. Fresh to strong winds
northeast to east winds will continue pulsing off the NW Yucatan
peninsula and south-central Gulf at night through Sat night,
then pulse at mostly fresh speeds through Tue night. Looking
ahead, a cold front is forecast to move into the far NW Gulf Sun
morning, reach from northern Florida to near 27N90W and to
northeast Mexico Sun evening, then stall from west-central
Florida to 26N90W and to northeast Mexico early on Mon. The
front is expected to gradually become diffuse into Tue night.
Moderate to fresh northeast winds will follow the front, except
briefly reaching strong speeds over the waters east of southern
Texas Sun night.
