Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge dominates the Gulf waters with southerly
return flow across the basin. Fresh to locally strong southerly
winds will develop over the western and central Gulf by tonight

Gulf of Wed. Minimal gale force winds will occur across the
Veracruz region in the wake of the front by Thu. This system
will exit the southeast Gulf by Fri. Later in the weekend, fresh
to strong winds and building seas are expected in the NE Gulf as
a strong high pressure settles over the Carolinas.
