.SYNOPSIS...High pressure ridging just NE of the Gulf will bring

to the NE half of the basin through the weekend. The southern and

western Gulf will experience moderate to fresh east to southeast 

winds during this same period, locally pulsing to strong off the 

NW Yucatan Peninsula each night through Fri night as a diurnal
