Its associated pressure gradient will maintain moderate to fresh east to southeast winds over the basin through Sat morning. East winds will pulse to strong speeds north of the Yucatan peninsula and over the Bay of Campeche nightly through Fri in association with a diurnal trough. Moderate to fresh east winds and moderate seas are expected over the Straits of Florida through Thu night. Elsewhere, winds will begin to diminish Fri and into the weekend.
