Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
324 PM EDT Fri May 24 2024

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the region will begin to shift
east-southeastward starting Sun. Moderate to fresh east to
southeast winds over the western Gulf, and gentle to moderate
southeast to south winds elsewhere are expected to continue
through the weekend, except for winds becoming light and variable
over most of the eastern Gulf through early next week. A cold
front will move across the NE Gulf from late Tue through Wed
night, followed by gentle to moderate west to northwest 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.
