919 FZNT32 KNHC 170921 OFFN21 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 521 AM EDT Thu Jul 17 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, AL93, extends from Mobile Bay southward to near 28N89W. This system is forecast to continue moving westward across northern portions of the Gulf and reach SE Louisiana late today. If this system moves far enough offshore, environmental conditions over the Gulf appear generally favorable for additional development, and a tropical depression could form over the next day or two before the system moves fully inland by Fri. Regardless of development, heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected over the north-central Gulf through Fri, with erratic gusty winds and rough seas possible near convection. Atlantic high pressure will shift westward into the NE Gulf over the weekend. Gulf of America N of 26N W of 87W .TODAY...W winds less than 10 kt.
