Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1055 PM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure of 1020 mb centered over the NE Gulf
near 29N87W is allowing for light to gentle winds over that part
of the Gulf through Thu, and for moderate to fresh southeast winds
over most of the western part of the Gulf also through Thu. The
pressure gradient will tighten over the Gulf starting Thu night
resulting in increasing east to southeast fresh to strong winds
over just about the entire basin through Sun night. Seas will
build to 10 ft in the NW Gulf on Sun. Meanwhile, winds will pulse
to fresh to strong speeds near the Yucatan Peninsula each evening
through the period.
