Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure will dominate the Gulf of Mexico
through early 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, with ash
moving ENE away from the volcano. Ash has reached areas of the
SW Gulf of Mexico S of 22N and W of 94W. Visibility may be
restricted in this area due to volcanic ashfall into at least
tonight. Mariners should exercise caution.
