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 SW winds will develop tonight over the SE basin being
enhanced by an amplifying area of convection moving to the
region from the NW Caribbean. These enhanced winds will continue
through Wed to the SE of a weak surface trough. By Fri night,
moderate to fresh S to SE winds will develop over the E half of
the basin, increasing to strong speeds Sat into Sat night.
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.
