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 stationary front extends over the NW Gulf from
central Louisiana to south of the Rio Grande. Ahead of the
front, thunderstorms are moving through portions of the central
Gulf. These thunderstorms could have locally stronger winds,
rougher seas, frequent lightning and heavy rain. Thunderstorms
could continue through Wed along the stationary front.
Elsewhere, moderate to fresh return flow will dominate the
basin, pulsing to locally strong near the Yucatan Peninsula and
Yucatan Channel. Winds may slightly weaken during the upcoming
weekend as the gradient relaxes. Meanwhile, haze due to
agricultural fires in Mexico continues across most of the
western Gulf and Bay of Campeche.
