Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
402 PM EDT Thu May 2 2024

.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between weak high pressure over
Florida and the eastern Gulf, and relatively lower pressures over
the rest of the Gulf and in Mexico will support mostly fresh
southeast winds over the western and central Gulf through the
forecast period. Fresh to strong winds will pulse at night for
the next few days near the northern and western Yucatan Peninsula
due to local effects induced by a thermal trough.
