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...A broad area of low pressure is over the NW
Caribbean Sea and adjacent parts of Central America.
Environmental conditions appear favorable for gradual
development of this system during the next several days. A
tropical depression is likely to form while the system moves
slowly northward across the northwestern Caribbean Sea and Gulf
of Mexico through the end of the week. There is a high chance of
tropical cyclone formation in the next seven days. Regardless of
development, winds and seas will start increasing across the SE
Gulf early this week.
