Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
402 PM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge across the Gulf region is allowing for gentle
to moderate E to SE winds across the eastern Gulf, and moderate
to fresh SE winds over the western Gulf. The pressure gradient
will tighten over the Gulf beginning tonight resulting in
increasing east to southeast fresh to strong winds over just
about the entire basin through Sun night. Seas will build to 10
ft in the NW Gulf on Sun. Meanwhile, winds will pulse to fresh to
strong speeds near the Yucatan Peninsula each evening through
the forecast period.
