Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
937 PM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge across the Gulf region is allowing for
gentle to moderate E to SE winds across the eastern Gulf, and
moderate to fresh SE winds over the western Gulf. The pressure
gradient will tighten over the Gulf beginning tonight resulting
in increasing east to southeast fresh to strong winds over just
about the entire basin through Sun night. Seas will build to
10 ft in the NW Gulf on Sun. Meanwhile, winds will pulse to
fresh to strong speeds near the Yucatan Peninsula each evening
through the forecast period.
