Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1057 AM EDT Wed May 8 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh SE winds will prevail across much of the Gulf
through Thu ahead of a cold front. The cold front will move off
the Texas coast into the northwest Gulf Thu night and will move
across most of the basin through Fri. The front will then slow
down and weaken further as extends from South Florida to Veracruz,
Mexico, by late Sat. Meanwhile, fresh to locally strong winds
will pulse nightly through late week off the northern and western
Yucatan Peninsula. Haze due to agricultural fires in southeastern
Mexico persists in the western Gulf.
