Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
353 PM EDT Fri May 3 2024

.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between high pressure centered
over Florida and lower pressures in the western Gulf will
support moderate to fresh winds over the majority of the Gulf of
Mexico well into next week. Fresh to locally strong winds will
pulse at night through the period near the northern and western 
Yucatan Peninsula due to a thermal trough. Haze due to 
agricultural fires in southeastern Mexico is evident in the SW 
and west-central Gulf sections.
