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 from Fort Myers, Florida
to 28N85W, where it transitions to a warm front to NE Texas.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are north of 28N between 88W
and 92W. The warm front will continue lifting northward through
Fri, perhaps stall near the coast. A series of upper- level
disturbances moving from W to E should help keep active weather
over the northern Gulf through most of the weekend. Elsewhere,
moderate to fresh return flow will dominate the basin, except
pulsing to locally strong near the Yucatan Peninsula and the Bay
of Campeche through Sat night. Winds will slightly weaken Sun
into early next week as the gradient relaxes. Meanwhile, areas
of haze and smoke due to agricultural fires in Mexico continues
across most of the western Gulf and Bay of Campeche.
