700 FZNT32 KNHC 161459 OFFN21 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1059 AM EDT Wed Jul 16 2025 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Gulf of America 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, Invest AL93, is centered inland over the Florida Panhandle, and troughing extends southwestward to near 26.5N89W. This system is forecast to continue moving westward, and could emerge or redevelop over the far northeastern to north-central portion of the Gulf later today or tonight, reaching the coast of Louisiana by Thursday. If this system moves far enough offshore, environmental conditions over the Gulf appear generally favorable for additional development, and a tropical depression could still form over the next couple of days before the system moves fully inland by the end of the week. Regardless of development, heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected over the north-central Gulf through Fri, and erratic gusty winds and rough seas will be possible near convection. There is a medium chance of formation within the next 48 hours. Gulf of America N of 26N W of 87W .THIS AFTERNOON...N winds less than 10 kt.
