.SYNOPSIS...A ridge will dominate the Gulf waters over the next
few days, with a weak high pressure cell developing over the SE
Gulf. This system will move toward western Cuba on Thu, ahead of
the next cold front forecast to reach the northern Gulf Thu
night into Fri. The front will stall and weaken over the
northern or central waters Fri night. Fresh to locally strong NE
to E winds will follow the front. Southerly winds will increase
across the region during the upcoming weekend. Smoke from
agricultural fires in southern Mexico may reduce visibilities
over the SW Gulf and Bay of Campeche.
