Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1056 AM EDT Wed Jun 5 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A weak Atlantic ridge extends SW into the NE Gulf,
and will dominate the basin through the next several days. This
pattern will support generally moderate to locally fresh SE to S
winds in the western Gulf, fresh to occasionally strong near the
Yucatan Peninsula and in the NW Gulf, and gentle to moderate winds
in the eastern Gulf through early Thu. On Thu, the ridge will
weaken, allowing for winds to diminish somewhat into the weekend.
Hazy conditions due to agricultural fires over Central America and
Mexico will continue for the next couple of days, reducing
visibility to around 1 to 3 nm at times, mainly over the western
half of the Gulf.
