Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from Mexico Beach, Florida SW
to Tampico, Mexico. Showers and thunderstorms are expected
across the NE Gulf today in association with a pre-frontal
trough just N of Tampa Bay. The front will lift as a warm front
later today and linger across the northern Gulf over the next
few days. This will shift the focus of heavy rain and
thunderstorms to the northern Gulf on Thu and Fri. Elsewhere,
moderate to fresh return flow will dominate the basin, pulsing
to locally strong near the Yucatan Peninsula and the Bay of
Campeche. Winds will slightly weaken during the weekend as the
gradient relaxes. Meanwhile, haze due to agricultural fires in
Mexico continues across most of the western Gulf and Bay of
Campeche.
