Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
420 AM EDT Thu May 2 2024
.SYNOPSIS...Surface ridging continues to dominate the Gulf
waters. The pressure gradient between the ridge and lower
pressures in Texas and Mexico will continue to tighten, and fresh
to strong pulsing winds in the western half of the Gulf will
prevail through Fri. Moderate or weaker winds will prevail in the
eastern half of the basin. Winds will pulse to strong speeds
nightly near and to the NW of the Yucatan Peninsula due to local
effects induced by a thermal trough.
