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

Gulf through midweek, with the western Atlantic ridge building

locally moderate winds and slight seas through the week. A

surface trough will generate locally fresh winds north and west

of the Yucatan Peninsula in the early evenings through the

period.
