Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1121 PM EDT Fri May 24 2024

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the region will begin to shift
ESE starting Sun. Moderate to fresh E to SE winds over the
western Gulf, and gentle to moderate SE to S winds elsewhere are
expected to continue through the weekend, except for winds
becoming light and variable over most of the eastern Gulf through
early next week. A cold front will move across the NE Gulf from
late Tue through Wed night, followed by gentle to moderate west to
NW winds. Fresh to strong winds will pulse near the northern and
western Yucatan Peninsula during the late afternoons and at night
through the period. Hazy conditions due to agricultural fires in
Mexico continue across most of the western Gulf and Bay of
Campeche.
