Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
521 AM EDT Tue May 28 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Weak surface ridging will continue to dominate
across the Gulf through Sat. As a result, winds will be SE
gentle to moderate west of 87W through Thu, but become moderate
to fresh Thu evening through Sat night. A weak cold front will
move across the far NE Gulf today, followed by gentle W to NW
winds. Otherwise, fresh to strong NE to E winds will pulse near
the N and W portions of the Yucatan peninsula during the late
afternoons and at night for the next several days. Haze west of
87W due to agricultural fires over Central America and Mexico will
continue for at least the next couple of days. Visibilities will
be 3 NM or less in the SW Gulf of Mexico.
