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.
