952 PM EDT Mon Aug 24 2026



.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure will remain centered over the

central Gulf through Wed, with the western Atlantic ridge

gentle to locally moderate winds and slight seas into the weekend.

A surface trough will generate locally fresh winds north and west

of the Yucatan Peninsula in the early evenings through the 

period.
