NWS Marine Forecast


   GMZ001-150715-  Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico  310 PM EDT Tue May 14 2024      .SYNOPSIS...A cold front in the NW Gulf from Louisiana to just S  of the Rio Grande has stalled this afternoon. Ahead of the front,  a squall line is moving through portions of the NE Gulf from  offshore the Florida Big Bend to south of the mouth of the  Mississippi River. Thunderstorms in this squall line may lead to  locally stronger winds and rough seas, along with heavy rain.  Through winds, additional thunderstorms are possible as the front  remains nearly stationary over the northern Gulf of Mexico.  Elsewhere, moderate to fresh return flow will dominate the basin,  pulsing to locally 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.    $$
