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, a
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 WNW to NW into the SW
Gulf of Mexico. Environmental conditions appear conducive for a
tropical cyclone to develop from this broad area of low
pressure, and a tropical depression could form over the
southwestern Gulf during the middle part of this week, then move
west or west- northwestward. Active convection across the
southeast Gulf, along with increasing winds and building seas,
is expected to shift westward with this system into the middle
part of the week, impacting the south-central and northwest
Gulf.
