Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A surface ridge dominates the Gulf waters producing
gentle to moderate E to SE winds. The pressure gradient between

tonight into the weekend. Moderate or weaker winds will prevail
in the eastern half of the basin. Winds will pulse to strong
speeds nightly near and to the NW of the Yucatan Peninsula due
to local effects induced by a thermal trough.
