Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1121 AM EDT Mon Apr 29 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A broad subtropical ridge in the western Atlantic
supports moderate to occasionally strong SE winds over much of
the Gulf. The high pressure system will weaken over the next few
days, resulting in diminishing winds and decreasing seas across
the basin. Elsewhere, winds will pulse to fresh to strong speeds
near the Yucatan Peninsula and south-central Gulf each evening
through the forecast period.
