Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge will continue to dominate the Gulf waters
through tonight. Expect southerly winds, gentle to moderate for
the eastern Gulf, and moderate to occasional fresh over the
western Gulf. This moist southerly flow will continue to favor
the development of marine fog across the northern Gulf early
this morning and tonight. Fresh to locally strong winds will
pulse until sunrise this morning and tonight near and northwest
of the Yucatan Peninsula due to a thermal trough. Southerly flow
will increase and reach fresh to strong by Thu, ahead of a cold
front forecast to move eastward across the Gulf late Thu night
and Fri. These winds will reach near-gale force across the Bay
of Campeche and central Gulf, and might peak at gale-force
offshore from Veracruz, Mexico. This front is anticipated to
stall and weaken across the east-central Gulf and eastern Bay of
Campeche on Sat, which should allow both winds and seas to
gradually subside.
