.SYNOPSIS...A weak pressure gradient will support moderate or 

weaker winds and slight to moderate seas over much of the waters 

through early next week. Winds will pulse to fresh with moderate 

seas off western Yucatan during the evenings due to a diurnal 

surface trough moving west off the peninsula each night.
