Gulf through early Fri. On Fri, the ridge will weaken, allowing
for winds to diminish somewhat into the weekend. Hazy conditions
due to agricultural fires over Central America and Mexico will
continue for the next couple of days, reducing visibility to
around 1 to 3 nm at times, mainly over the southwestern half of
the Gulf.
