Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A weak Atlantic ridge extends SW into the NE Gulf,
and will dominate the basin through the next several days. This
pattern will support generally moderate to fresh SE to S winds
in the western Gulf, fresh to occasionally strong near the
Yucatan Peninsula and in the NW Gulf, and gentle to moderate
winds in the eastern Gulf through late Wed. By Thu, the ridge
will weaken, allowing for winds to diminish somewhat into the
weekend. Hazy conditions due to agricultural fires over Central
America and Mexico will continue for the next couple of days,
reducing visibility to around 3 nm at times, mainly over the
western half of the Gulf.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A frontal trough extends from 1008 mb low pressure
near 30N53W to 30N55W to 25N61W to near the Windward Passage. A
deep-layered upper trough across the W Atlantic and into the W
Caribbean will shift E-NE across the region through Thu, and
maintain active thunderstorms between 55W and 70W, that will shift
E and NE ahead of the trough. The feature will also aid in
strengthening of the low pressure, which will move NE and exit the
area waters Wed morning. Strong to near gale-force SW winds are
expected ahead of this low pres this evening as it moves across
the NE waters. Weak high pressure will begin to build across the
basin Wed then shift slowly E-NE Thu through Fri night. A weak
front will move into the far NW waters Sat and stall there Sun.
