Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A weak ridge across the northern Gulf will maintain
moderate SE return flow and patchy fog across the NW Gulf today.
Low pressure forming over northern Mexico and a strengthening W
Atlantic ridge will support fresh return flow across most of the
basin later this week. A slow-moving cold front will reach the
NW Gulf late Fri, then stall and weaken over the northern Gulf
Sat through Sun. Strong NE to E winds will develop each evening
N of the Yucatan Peninsula, then weaken overnight as the
associated trough moves offshore.
