Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1033 PM EDT Wed May 1 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Surface ridging continue to dominates the Gulf
waters, and a weak pressure gradient support moderate to fresh E
to SE winds across the western half of the basin and light to
gentle winds elsewhere. The pressure gradient between the ridge
and lower pressures in Texas and Mexico will tighten, and fresh to
strong pulsing winds in the western half of the Gulf will develop
later tonight through Fri. 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.
