.SYNOPSIS...A surface ridge dominates the Gulf waters producing
gentle to moderate E to SE winds. The pressure gradient between
the ridge and lower pressures in Texas and Mexico will support
fresh to strong pulsing winds in the western half of the Gulf
tonight into the weekend. Moderate or weaker winds will prevail
in the eastern half of the basin. Winds will pulse to strong
speeds nightly near and to the NW of the Yucatan Peninsula due
to local effects induced by a thermal trough.
