Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh SE winds will prevail across much of the Gulf
through Thu ahead of a cold front. The cold front will move off
the Texas coast into the northwest Gulf Thu night and will move
across most of the basin through Fri. The front will then slow
down and weaken further as extends from South Florida to
Veracruz, Mexico, by late Sat. Meanwhile, fresh to locally
strong winds will pulse nightly through late week off the
northern and western Yucatan Peninsula. Haze due to agricultural
fires in southeastern Mexico persists in the western Gulf.
Patchy fog is possible along the NW Gulf coast tonight.
