Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1006 AM EST Sat Feb 17 2018

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge will dominate the Gulf region this weekend
producing mainly gentle to moderate winds over the western Gulf,
and light to gentle winds over the eastern Gulf, with the exception
of moderate winds over the SE waters and the Straits of Florida.
Expect increasing winds and building seas by early next week as 
high pressure strengthens over the western Atlantic. A thermal 
trough will develop over the western Yucatan Peninsula during 
each afternoon, drift west across the eastern Bay of Campeche 
during the overnight hours, and then dissipate over the southwest
Gulf waters by late each morning.
