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 broad low to middle level cyclonic circulation,
also known as Central American Gyre, is currently over southern
Mexico and Central America. The gyre center is expected to
persist through the middle of this week, while shifting W to WNW
into the SW Gulf of Mexico. Showers and thunderstorms across the
SE Gulf, along with increasing winds to gale- force and rough
seas, are expected to shift over the W Gulf with this system
early this week. Environmental conditions appear conducive for a
tropical cyclone to develop from this broad circulation, and a
tropical depression or tropical storm is likely to form by
midweek.
