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...A cold front extends from the Alabama coast to near
Tampico, Mexico. Showers and thunderstorms are expected across
the eastern Gulf today in association with a pre-frontal trough.
The front will lift as a warm front later today and linger
across the northern Gulf over the next few days. This will shift
the focus of heavy rain and thunderstorms to the northern Gulf
on Thu and Fri. Elsewhere, moderate to fresh return flow will
dominate the basin, pulsing to locally strong near the Yucatan
Peninsula and the Bay of Campeche. Winds will slightly weaken
during the weekend as the gradient relaxes. Meanwhile, haze due
to agricultural fires in Mexico continues across most of the
western Gulf and Bay of Campeche.
