Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1009 AM EDT Mon May 13 2024

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure extends across the basin. An inverted
trough may develop over the western Gulf early this week where
it may linger through at least mid-week. Heavy rainfall and
thunderstorms are expected across the northern Gulf over the
next few days. Mainly moderate to fresh return flow will
dominate the basin, pulsing to strong near the Yucatan Peninsula
and Yucatan Channel. Meanwhile, haze due to agricultural fires
in Mexico continues across most of the western Gulf and Bay of
Campeche.
