Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
343 PM EDT Fri May 10 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front over the NW Gulf will shift SE across
the basin, reaching from near Tampa Bay, Florida to S Texas
early Sat, stall from the Straits of Florida to S Texas on Sun,
then gradually weaken with its remnants lifting back N as a warm
front through Sun night. Moderate to locally fresh northeast winds
will follow the front into Sat evening. Moderate to fresh return
flow will dominate for the start of next week, with another front
or trough possibly impacting the western Gulf by Tue. Meanwhile,
haze due to agricultural fires in southeastern Mexico continues
across most of the western Gulf. Fresh to strong winds will pulse
near the Yucatan Peninsula each evening starting Sat.
