Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1030 PM EDT Tue Apr 30 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A surface ridge dominates the Gulf waters producing
gentle to moderate E to SE winds. The pressure gradient between
the ridge and lower pressures in Texas and Mexico will support
fresh to strong pulsing winds in the western half of the Gulf Wed
night 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.
