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 locally 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 early Thu. On 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.

.SYNOPSIS...A frontal trough extends from 27.5N55W to near the

Atlantic and into the north-central 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
