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 surface trough extending from N central Florida to
the Yucatan Peninsula will shift NW and dissipate through
tonight. A broad low to middle level cyclonic circulation, a
Central American Gyre, is centered over the Yucatan Peninsula
and Central America this morning, and is expected to become
better organized this weekend, as it drifts westward.
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 next week. Active convection across the southeast
Gulf this morning, along with increasing winds and building
seas, are expected with this system in the early to mid part of
next week, mainly impacting the south-central and northwest
Gulf.
