SYNOPSIS  
HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE GULF WATERS  
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. A WEAK  
PRESSURE PATTERN WILL SUPPORT MOSTLY GENTLE TO MODERATE WINDS  
ACROSS MUCH OF THE BASIN. A DIURNALLY INDUCED SURFACE TROUGH  
WILL GENERATE FRESH TO LOCALLY STRONG WINDS NORTH AND WEST OF  
THE YUCATAN PENINSULA EARLY EACH EVENING. THESE WINDS WILL  
SPREAD WESTWARD AWAY FROM THE YUCATAN AT NIGHT AS THE TROUGH  
MIGRATES INTO THE SW GULF. SLIGHT TO MODERATE SEAS ARE EXPECTED  
THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.
