Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A subtropical ridge over the western Atlantic will
continue to exert its influence across the Gulf waters over the
next few days. Moderate to occasionally fresh SE winds are
forecast over the majority of the basin through today. Fresh to
locally strong winds will pulse near and to the NW of the
Yucatan Peninsula each night and early morning hours due to
local effects. A weak cold front will enter the NW Gulf waters
today and slide eastward. A stronger cold front will move across
the area late this weekend into early next week, resulting in an
increase in winds and seas behind the boundary.
