Weather / Marine Zone Forecast

MARINE WEATHER:  23 AM EDT Wed May 29 2024
 
 .SYNOPSIS...Strong thunderstorms are moving off the Texas and
NE Mexico coasts. These storms are producing frequent lightning,
gusty winds and locally rough seas. Outside of those storms, weak
surface ridging will continue to dominate across the Gulf through
Sun. As a result, winds will pulse moderate to fresh during the
evenings through the weekend. A weak cold front moving across the
far NE Gulf will continue to support gentle W to NW winds over
that region this morning. Otherwise, fresh to strong NE to E
winds will pulse near the N and W portions of the Yucatan
peninsula during the late afternoons and at night for the next two
days. Haze west of 89W due to agricultural fires over Central
America and Mexico will continue for at least the next couple of
days, impacting visibility at times.
