Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
408 PM EDT Tue Apr 30 2019

.SYNOPSIS...A trough currently E of the Florida Peninsula will
drift westward, reaching the eastern Gulf Thu, gradually weakening
as it continues NW through the end of the week. Otherwise, high
pres NE of the area will support mainly moderate to fresh return
flow. Fresh to strong winds will pulse NW of the Yucatan 
Peninsula at night with the daily development of a trough across 
the peninsula. The pres gradient will weaken this weekend allowing
for return flow to diminish slightly.
