Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from near Fort Myers,
Florida to near Cameron, Louisiana. Scattered to numerous strong
 thunderstorms are north of 28N from NE Texas to central
Louisiana. The front will lift northward and inland through late
Fri. A series of upper- level disturbances moving from W to E
will maintain active weather over the northern Gulf through most
of the weekend. Elsewhere, moderate to fresh return flow will
dominate the basin, except pulsing to locally strong near the
Yucatan Peninsula and the Bay of Campeche through Sat night.
Winds will slightly weaken Sun into early next week as the
pressure gradient relaxes. Meanwhile, areas of haze and smoke
due to agricultural fires in Mexico continue across most of the
western Gulf and Bay of Campeche.
