Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
438 AM EDT Tue May 21 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A weakening frontal trough extends across south
Florida into the southeastern Gulf offshore of SW Florida. Weak
high pressure extends from the eastern U.S. into the northern Gulf
behind this boundary. Gentle to moderate E to SE winds prevail
across the Gulf, with slight seas. Hazy conditions due to
agricultural fires in Mexico continue across most of the western
Gulf and Bay of Campeche. High pressure will remain NE of the
basin through the end of the week to produce moderate to locally
fresh E to SE winds across most of the basin, becoming SE to S
winds Fri and Sat.
