Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
427 AM EDT Thu May 9 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh SE winds will prevail across much of the Gulf
through tonight ahead of a cold front. The cold front will move
off the Texas coast into the northwest Gulf Fri and will move
across most of the basin into Sat. The front will slow down and
weaken further, then extend from South Florida to the bay of
Campeche by late Sat night. Moderate to locally fresh winds will
follow the front into. Haze due to agricultural fires in
southeastern Mexico persists in the western Gulf. Patchy fog is
possible along the northern Gulf coast today.
