Surface high pressure is currently centered just north of the Bahamas and extends westward across the entire Gulf of Mexico. Through this weekend, gradient flow around that ridge will keep local winds blowing south to southwestward.

Winds will respond by increasing from closer to 10 knots to more in Exercise Caution speeds of 15 to 20 knots for 12 hours or so. A cold front associated with that surface low will attempt to push into the Gulf but will likely stall before doing so.
