Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1015 PM EDT Fri May 10 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending from the western Florida
panhandle to inland Mexico just north of Tampico will transition
back to a cold front and move southeastward across the basin,
reaching from near Tampa Bay, Florida to S Texas early Sat. The
front will stall again 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.
East winds at fresh speeds are expected to develop in the NW Gulf
Wed and Wed night and in the far south-central Gulf near and in
the Yucatan Channel.
