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 SW WINDS OVER THE NORTHERN GULF WILL CONTINUE
TODAY AHEAD OF DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE IN THE SOUTH-CENTRAL
UNITED STATES. A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED
LOW WILL ENTER THE NW GULF TODAY, FOLLOWED BY GRADUALLY
INCREASING NW TO N WINDS. 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. GALE-FORCE WINDS ARE EXPECTED SUN AND SUN NIGHT IN
THE SOUTHWESTERN GULF OFFSHORE OF TAMPICO AND VERACRUZ. LOOKING
AHEAD, LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO FORM OVER THE NW GULF EARLY
NEXT WEEK. THE LOW WILL TRACK EASTWARD THROUGH MID-WEEK DRAGGING
A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE ENTIRE BASIN. NEAR GALE TO GALE-FORCE N
TO NE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO MOST OF THE NORTHERN AND
WESTERN GULF EARLY NEXT WEEK ACCOMPANIED BY ROUGH TO VERY ROUGH
SEAS. 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 THESE CONSECUTIVE STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEMS.
