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.
