Southeast Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...The west Atlantic ridge extends W-SW into the eastern Gulf, and will dominate the basin through the next several days. This pattern will support generally moderate to fresh E to SE winds in the western Gulf, and near the Yucatan Peninsula to occasionally strong, and gentle to moderate winds in the eastern Gulf. By the end of the week, the ridge will weaken, allowing for winds to diminish somewhat. Hazy conditions due to agricultural fires over Central America and Mexico will continue for the next couple of days, reducing visibility to around 3 nm at times, mainly over the western half of the Gulf. .THIS AFTERNOON...E winds 5 to 10 kt.
