SYNOPSIS
HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE BASIN WILL GENERALLY SUPPORT
LIGHT TO GENTLE SE TO S WINDS OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL GULF,
AND GENTLE TO MODERATE WINDS OVER THE EASTERN PART OF THE BASIN
INTO WED. A SURFACE TROUGH WILL DEVELOP OVER THE YUCATAN PENINSULA
AND MOVE INTO THE BAY OF CAMPECHE NIGHTLY THROUGH EARLY THIS

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE BASIN IN ITS WAKE WILL LEAD TO
MODERATE TO FRESH SOUTHEAST WINDS AND BUILDING SEAS ACROSS THE NW
GULF BY THU.
