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 weak cold front extends from central Florida
southwestward to the west-central Gulf near 26N94W. Scattered to
numerous showers and thunderstorms moving eastward are south of
the front from 26N to 27.5N and between the Florida coast and
85W. This activity may produce strong gusty winds. Scattered
showers and isolated thunderstorms are within 60 nm south of the
front between 85W and 88W. The front will weaken further tonight
as it drifts southeastward. A cold front has entered the western
Gulf along a position from southwest Louisiana to near
Brownsville, Texas. This cold front is expected to overtake the
weak front on Mon as it sweeps southeastward across the basin
through Tue. This will lead to fresh to strong northwest to
north winds and building seas in the wake of this front.
Gale-force northwest to north winds are expected to briefly
occur off Veracruz Mon afternoon into the evening. Winds may
reach near gale in the NW Gulf tonight into early Mon. Winds and
seas will diminish Tue into Wed as the front stalls across the
entrance to the Yucatan Channel and Straits of Florida, and high
pressure settles across the central Gulf. Light to gentle winds
and slight seas will persist late Wed through Fri night.
