.SYNOPSIS...Relatively weak high pressure extending westward

maintain gentle to moderate winds east to southeast winds across 

the Gulf south of about 26N, and light to gentle southeast to

northeast to east winds offshore the Yucatan peninsula at night. 

Slight seas are forecast throughout the basin for the forecast 

period.
