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...Cold front extends across the NW Gulf of America,
producing a strong squall line that is generating frequent
lightning, gusty winds and suddenly higher seas. The front will
move eastward today, with a low developing along the front near
SE Louisiana. The low will meander over the NE Gulf through Sun
while the front will move eastward across the western half of
the basin. By Mon, the low is forecast to move northward and the
front will continue to move across the eastern Gulf. Fresh to
strong northerly winds and moderate to rough seas are expected
in the wake of the front through Sat night. Seas to 9 ft are
expected Fri night into Sat morning in the SW Gulf. Smoke from
agricultural fires in southeastern Mexico is creating hazy
conditions in parts of the Gulf region.
