Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A weak cold front has entered the western Gulf, and
it extends from southeastern Louisiana to inland NE Mexico.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are over the western Gulf
north of 26N and west of 91W. The front will shift eastward
across the northern Gulf through early Sun, then stall and
weaken gradually through Mon. Upper-level disturbances moving
from W to E will maintain active weather over the northern Gulf
through most of the weekend. Elsewhere, moderate to fresh return
flow will dominate the basin, except pulsing to locally strong
near the Yucatan Peninsula and the Bay of Campeche through Sat
night. Winds will slightly weaken Sun into early next week as
the pressure gradient relaxes. Meanwhile, areas of haze and
smoke due to agricultural fires in Mexico continue across most
of the western Gulf and Bay of Campeche.
