Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A weak Atlantic ridge will extend westward into the
Gulf through Fri. Southerly winds will increase Tuesday and
Wednesday in the western Gulf as the pressure gradient tightens
between high pressure in the central Gulf and low pressure in W
Texas. The gradient will weaken late on Wednesday as the ridge
begins to lift N to the northern Gulf. This will allow the
southerly winds to diminish.
