.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the western Atlantic extends
across the Gulf coast states, supporting moderate to fresh
easterly winds across much of the Gulf of Mexico. Strong winds
are noted off northern Yucatan and the Florida Straits. The area
of high pressure will weaken over the next few days, loosening
the pressure gradient, and diminishing winds and decreasing seas
across the basin. Elsewhere, winds will pulse to fresh to strong
speeds near the Yucatan Peninsula and south-central Gulf each
evening through the forecast period.
