Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
851 AM EDT Tue May 14 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front is noted from the Sabine River to the Rio
Grande, with a stationary front extending just along the northern
Gulf coast from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle. To the SE of
these features, as surface trough extends from just offshore the
Florida Big Bend to just N of Tampico, Mexico. For waters near and
NW of the trough, several squall lines exist within a broader
area of strong thunderstorms.  These thunderstorms could bring
strong to temporary gale force winds and rough seas. The front
will linger across the northern Gulf over the next few days. This
will cause heavy rain and thunderstorms over the northern basin
through Wed. Meanwhile, moderate to fresh return flow will
dominate the basin, pulsing to strong near the Yucatan Peninsula
and Yucatan Channel. Winds may weaken somewhat during the upcoming
weekend as the gradient relaxes. Meanwhile, haze due to
agricultural fires in Mexico continues across most of the western
Gulf and Bay of Campeche.
