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...Disorganized showers and thunderstorms located over
the western Caribbean Sea are associated with a very broad area
of low pressure. 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, and spread across the eastern Gulf
thereafter.
