Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge axis currently extends from S Florida into
the Gulf along 26N. Moderate to fresh southerly winds have been
observed in the W Gulf, and will increase to strong to near
gale- force tonight through Wed over the NW and north-central
Gulf. Peak seas to 11 ft are forecast in the highest winds
through Wed evening. These winds and seas are ahead of a frontal
system that will stall across Texas. High pressure and
associated fresh return flow is expected across most of the
basin Thu, before diminishing to moderate speeds Fri. However,
fresh return flow will persist on Fri in the SW Gulf and off the
coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. Gentle to moderate E to SE winds
are expected across the basin Sat through Sun night as the
western extension of Atlantic high pressure will reach westward
along 30N. Nocturnal fresh to strong E to SE winds are expected
along the northern Yucatan Peninsula through the period as the
Yucatan Peninsula trough moves offshore.
