Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A high pressure ridge between the Bahamas and
Bermuda interacting with an expansive area of deep low pressure
over the central U.S. is allowing for fresh to strong SE to S
winds over most of the Gulf. As the low pressure continues to
shift northeastward, these winds should diminish by this
evening. However, a diurnal trough developing over the Yucatan
Peninsula during the day will induce fresh to strong E to SE
winds over the SW Gulf nightly for the next several days.
Elsewhere, moderate or weaker E to SE winds should prevail
through Mon night. Looking ahead, a weak cold front may emerge
off of the Texas and Louisiana coast on Mon.
