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 tonight. 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 1 to 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 1007 mb low pressure
near 31N53W to 1013 mb low pressure near 23.5N61.5W 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 northern low pressure,
which will move NE and completely exit the area waters later this
morning. Gale-force winds will be just NE of the offshore waters
with this low, with fresh to strong winds SE of the trough and N
of 22N through the morning. Weak high pressure will begin to
build across the basin in the wake of the northern low, then
shift slowly E-NE Thu through Fri night. A weak front may move
into the far NW waters Sat and stall there Sun.
