Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Weak surface ridging will continue to dominate
across the Gulf through Sun. As a result, winds will pulse
moderate to fresh during the evenings through the weekend. A
weak cold front moving across the far NE Gulf will continue to
support gentle W to NW winds over that region this morning.
Otherwise, fresh to strong NE to E winds will pulse near the N
and W portions of the Yucatan peninsula during the late
afternoons and at night through the weekend. Haze west of 89W
due to agricultural fires over Central America and Mexico will
continue for at least the next couple of days, impacting
visibility at times.
