Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Strong thunderstorms are moving off the Texas and
Louisiana coasts. These storms are producing frequent lightning,
gusty winds and locally rough seas. Outside of those storms,
weak surface ridging will continue to dominate across the Gulf
through Sun. As a result, winds will pulse moderate to fresh
during the evenings through the weekend. A weak cold front will
move across the far NE Gulf tonight, followed by gentle W to NW
winds. Otherwise, fresh to strong NE to E winds will pulse near
the N and W portions of the Yucatan peninsula during the late
afternoons and at night for the next two days. Haze west of 89W
due to agricultural fires over Central America and Mexico will
continue for at least the next couple of days, impacting
visibility at times.
