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, Invest AL93, is
centered inland over the Florida Panhandle, and troughing extends
southwestward to near 26.5N89W. This system is forecast to
continue moving westward, and could emerge or redevelop over the
far northeastern to north-central portion of the Gulf later today
or tonight, reaching the coast of Louisiana by Thursday. If this
system moves far enough offshore, environmental conditions over
the Gulf appear generally favorable for additional development,
and a tropical depression could still form over the next couple
of days before the system moves fully inland by the end of the
week. Regardless of development, heavy showers and thunderstorms
are expected over the north-central Gulf through Fri, and erratic
gusty winds and rough seas will be possible near convection.
There is a medium chance of formation within the next 48 hours.
