Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...A weak pressure gradient will support mainly gentle to moderate winds most of the forecast period. Moderate to fresh S to SE winds are forecast to develop over the E half of the basin Thu into Fri as the pressure gradient tightens between surface ridging over the SW N Atlantic and a developing surface trough that will extend from the E Bay of Campeche to the Tampa Bay adjacent waters. Otherwise, hazy conditions due to agricultural fires over Central America and Mexico will continue for at least the next couple of days, reducing visibility to around 3 nm at times, mainly over the SW Gulf.
