Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front is moving into the into the
northwestern Gulf with strong thunderstorms with it. 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 along with an inverted trough. This will
cause heavy rain and thunderstorms over the northern basin the
next few days. 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.
