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

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh SE winds will prevail across much of the Gulf
into Thu night, ahead of a cold front. 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. Looking ahead, the cold
front will move off the Texas coast into the northwest Gulf Thu
night, shift southeast, then slow down and weaken further as
extends from South Florida to Veracruz, Mexico, by late Sat.
