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...Fresh to strong NE to E winds and locally rough seas
will prevail over the northern Gulf, mainly north of 26N,
tonight into early Sun, as a strong pressure gradient prevails
between high pressure across the eastern U.S. and an old frontal
boundary meandering across the Bahamas, south Florida, and
across the eastern Gulf. This boundary will begin to lift
northward as a warm front in the central Gulf early Sun and into
the southeastern United States Mon, supporting slowly
diminishing winds over the northern basin. Moderate E to SE
winds and slight to moderate seas are expected over the rest of
the Gulf into next week.
