Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Weak surface ridging will continue to dominate

gentle to moderate west of 87W through Thu, but become moderate
to fresh Thu evening through Sat night. A weak cold front will
move across the far NE Gulf late tonight, followed by gentle W
to NW winds. 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 for the next several days. Haze
west of 87W due to agricultural fires over Central America and
Mexico will continue for at least the next couple of days.
