Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...The Bermuda high will slide eastward across the
Atlantic through the weekend, yet maintain a lingering ridge
westward over the western Atlantic and into the central Gulf 
through Sun. 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. A weak
cold front will enter the NW Gulf waters today and slide
eastward along 29N. A stronger cold front will move across the
area late this weekend into early next week, resulting in an
increase in winds and seas.
