Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A relatively weak high pressure ridge will continue
to extend from the western Atlantic across the northern Gulf

pattern over the basin. Mostly moderate to fresh southeast to
south winds will exist W of 87W through early Mon while light to
gentle southeast to south winds will exist E of 87W. The winds W
of 87W will shift to W of 90W afterwards while winds east of 87W
generally become light and variable, except S of 26N where
gentle they become gentle northeast winds. Seas will be slight
to moderate during the period. A cold front is expected to move
across the NE Gulf Tue through Wed, followed by gentle to
moderate west to northwest winds. Fresh to strong winds will
pulse near the northern and western Yucatan Peninsula during the
late afternoons and at night through the period. Hazy conditions
due to agricultural fires in Mexico continue across most of the
western Gulf and Bay of Campeche.
