Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1057 PM EDT Tue Sep 17 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Weak surface ridging over the Gulf waters will
support generally light to gentle winds and slight seas through
Thu. Moderate to locally fresh winds may pulse in the Bay of
Campeche nightly through Fri. A cold front moving through the NE
Gulf will lead to moderate NE winds across the basin on Fri, and
building high pressure this weekend will support a gentle to
moderate anticyclonic flow.
