.SYNOPSIS...A rather weak ridge axis extending westward from the 

Atlantic across the Gulf along 28N will change little through the

moderate east to southeast winds south of 26N, and mostly light to

gentle southeast to south-southwest winds north of 26N through 

the period. Winds become mostly light and variable starting Mon 

over the north-central and NE Gulf. Occasional fresh to strong 

northeast to east winds are expected offshore the Yucatan 

peninsula at night into next week.
