Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1056 AM EDT Tue Jun 4 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 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 late Wed. By Thu, the ridge will weaken,
allowing for winds to diminish somewhat. Hazy conditions due to
agricultural fires over Central America and Mexico will continue
for the next couple of days, reducing visibility to around 3 nm at
times, mainly over the western half of the Gulf.
