Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
517 AM EDT Sun May 26 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A relatively weak high pressure ridge will continue
to extend from the western Atlantic across the E Gulf into the
upcoming week. This will maintain a weak pressure pattern over the
basin. Mostly moderate to fresh SE to S winds will exist W of 87W
through early Mon while light to gentle SE to S winds will exist
E of 87W. The winds W of 87W will shift to W of 90W afterwards
while winds east of 87W generally become light and variable,
except S of 26N where they become gentle NE winds. Seas will be
slight to moderate during the period. A cold front is expected to
move across the NE Gulf Tue through Wed, followed by gentle to
moderate W to NW winds. Fresh to strong winds will pulse near the
northern and western Yucatan Peninsula during the late afternoons
and at night through the period. Hazy conditions due to
agricultural fires in Mexico continue across most of the western
Gulf and Bay of Campeche.
