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
FRESH SOUTHWEST WINDS OVER THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN
GULF WILL CONTINUE TODAY AHEAD OF DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE IN THE
SOUTH-CENTRAL UNITED STATES. A RATHER SHARP COLD FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW IS EXPECTED TO ENTER THE
NW GULF THIS MORNING, FOLLOWED BY FRESH NORTHWEST TO NORTH WINDS
WILL INITIALLY FOLLOW THE FRONT. THESE WINDS ARE FORECAST TO
INCREASE TO STRONG SPEEDS BY EARLY SUN AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
TIGHTENS BETWEEN THE FRONT AND BUILDING STRONG HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. NEAR GALE TO GALE-FORCE WINDS WILL BE
POSSIBLE SUN AND SUN NIGHT IN THE SOUTHWESTERN GULF OFFSHORE OF
TAMPICO AND OFFSHORE VERACRUZ. ROUGH SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO
ACCOMPANY THE WINDS. LOOKING AHEAD, LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO
FORM OVER THE NW GULF EARLY NEXT WEEK, WITH AN ATTENDANT POTENT
COLD FRONT. THE LOW WILL TRACK EASTWARD THROUGH MID-WEEK
DRAGGING THE COLD FRONT ACROSS THE ENTIRE BASIN. NEAR GALE TO
GALE FORCE NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO
MOST OF THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN GULF EARLY NEXT WEEK. ROUGH TO
VERY ROUGH SEAS ARE EXPECTED WITH THESE WINDS. MARINERS ARE
URGED TO EXERCISE CAUTION ACROSS THE BASIN, INCLUDING OUTSIDE OF
THE GALE CONDITION AFFECTED ZONES, DUE TO THE EXPANSIVE AREA OF
STRONG TO NEAR-GALE FORCE WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS ASSOCIATED WITH
SUCCESSIVE FRONTAL SYSTEMS.
