SYNOPSIS
HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL OVER THE GULF, SUPPORTING
MODERATE TO LOCALLY FRESH S TO SE WINDS OVER THE WESTERN AND

INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. A SURFACE TROUGH WILL DEVELOP OVER THE
YUCATAN PENINSULA AND MOVE INTO THE BAY OF CAMPECHE NIGHTLY

CENTRAL AND EASTERN GULF THROUGH TUE NIGHT. LOOKING AHEAD, HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE NORTHEASTERN GULF IN THE WAKE OF THE
FRONT WILL SUPPORT MODERATE TO FRESH SE WINDS AND BUILDING SEAS
ACROSS THE NORTHWEST GULF BY THU.
