Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure will dominate the Gulf of Mexico
through early next week, inducing light to gentle winds and
slight seas. A diurnal trough will move offshore each night W of
the Yucatan Peninsula, with moderate N to NE winds ahead of it.
A weak frontal trough will sink into the northern Gulf Wed and
move southward, and gradually produce gentle to moderate N to NE
winds across the entire basin. Popocatepetl Volcano in Mexico
near 19N98.6W has produced 2 large eruptions overnight, moving
ENE away from the volcano. Ash aloft has recently moved over
water and may be reaching the surface from 19N to 22N between
96W and the Mexican coast. Visibilities may be restricted 3 to
5 nm across this area. Mariners should exercise caution.
