Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from Tampa Bay, Florida to
27N85W where it transitions to a warm front to the South Texas
coast. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue across
portions of the eastern Gulf through this morning along the
front. The warm front will continue lifting northward today and
stall tonight into Fri along the northern Gulf coast. This will
shift the focus of heavy rain and thunderstorms to the northern
Gulf today through the weekend. Elsewhere, moderate to fresh
return flow will dominate the basin, pulsing to locally strong
near the Yucatan Peninsula and the Bay of Campeche. Winds will
slightly weaken Sun into early next week as the gradient
relaxes. Meanwhile, haze due to agricultural fires in Mexico
continues across most of the western Gulf and Bay of Campeche.
