.SYNOPSIS...Atlantic high pressure ridging extending westward
across South Florida will begin to shift southward tonight in
response to a cold front that will be approaching the far NW
Gulf late tonight into early on Fri. Ahead of the front,
moderate to fresh southeast winds are over the area, except for
gentle to moderate southeast to south winds are over the eastern
Gulf. The cold front will move southeastward across the basin,
reaching from near southeastern Louisiana to South Texas by Fri
afternoon, from near Fort Myers, Florida to the NE Mexico and
South Texas border by early Sat, then stall from the Straits of
Florida to South Texas on Sun, then gradually weaken with its
remnants lifting back north as a warm front through Tue.
Moderate to locally fresh northeast winds will follow the front
into Sat evening. Haze due to agricultural fires in southeastern
Mexico continues across most of the western Gulf.
