MARINE WEATHER HF VOICE BROADCAST FOR THE GULF OF MEXICO  
 
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
 
LOW PRESSURE OF 1017 MB IS NEAR 24N86W, WITH A WARM  
FRONT EXTENDING EAST-NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA WHILE A  
COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM THE SAME LOW TO JUST INLAND THE NORTHERN  
YUCATAN PENINSULA. THE LOW WILL WEAKEN TODAY AS IT SHIFTS  
EASTWARD ALLOWING FOR FRESH TO STRONG NORTHWEST TO NORTH WINDS  
AND RELATED ROUGH SEAS THAT ARE NEAR AND OFFSHORE VERACRUZ TO  
DIMINISH. AFTERWARDS, MODERATE TO LOCALLY FRESH SOUTH TO  
SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE BASIN FRI THROUGH SAT  
AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN U.S. AND INTO  
THE NORTHWESTERN GULF LATE ON SAT. FRESH N WINDS WILL FOLLOW THE  
FRONT BY EARLY SUN, WITH WINDS INCREASING TO STRONG SPEEDS  
ACROSS MUCH OF THE BASIN ON SUN, POSSIBLE REACHING GALE FORCE IN  
THE FAR WEST- CENTRAL GULF OFFSHORE TAMPICO SUN AND IN THE SW  
GULF OFFSHORE VERACRUZ SUN NIGHT. ROUGH SEAS ARE EXPECTED WITH  
THESE WINDS AS WELL. LOOKING AHEAD, ANOTHER STRONG COLD FRONT  
WILL LEAD TO STRONG TO NEAR GALE FORCE WINDS ACROSS THE BASIN,  
WITH WINDS POTENTIALLY AT GALE FORCE SPEEDS ACROSS SECTIONS OF  
THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN GULF WATERS. ROUGH TO VERY ROUGH SEAS  
ARE EXPECTED WITH THESE WINDS.
