Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.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. Smoke is noted over the Bay of Campeche.
