1041 AM EDT Sat May 17 2025

.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between high pressure over the
eastern Gulf and relatively lower pressure in Texas and eastern
Mexico will maintain moderate to fresh with locally strong SE
winds and moderate seas across the western Gulf through Tue.
Pulsing fresh to locally strong E winds are likely each
afternoon and evening through Tue night, north of the Yucatan
Peninsula as a trough develops daily and drifts westward. Smoke
from agricultural fires in southeastern Mexico will sustain hazy
conditions at the west-central and southwestern Gulf into early
next week.
