Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
444 AM EDT Tue Apr 30 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A decaying outflow boundary is producing a few showers
over the eastern Gulf. A broad subtropical ridge over the western
Atlantic result in moderate to fresh easterly winds across the
basin. The pressure gradient between the ridge and lower pressures
in Texas and Mexico will support fresh to occasionally strong
winds in the western half of the Gulf Wed night into the weekend.
Winds will pulse to strong speeds nightly in offshore Yucatan and
the south-central Gulf waters. Moderate or weaker winds will
prevail in the eastern half of the Gulf.
