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 cold front extends from Venice, Florida to 25N87W,
where it becomes a stationary front and continues to Veracruz,
Mexico. Moderate winds and moderate seas are evident behind the
front. The cold front will slow down this morning, while the
stationary front lifts northward as another low pressure system
forms over South Texas and the NW Gulf. Moderate to fresh southerly
winds will develop this afternoon in W Gulf and spread eastward
tonight into Thu. Then, another cold front will enter the NW waters
on Thu, and extend from SE Louisiana to near Tampico, Mexico Fri
morning, then stall and gradually dissipate. Looking ahead, a strong
cold front is likely to sweep across the Gulf late Sun into Mon,
bringing strong N winds over much of the basin.
