.SYNOPSIS...Atlantic high pressure ridging extending westward
across central Florida will shift southward through Sat in
response to a cold front that will be moving into the far NW
Gulf this morning. Ahead of the front, a trough extends from
29N92W to 26N97W. Gentle to moderate southeast winds are over
the Gulf, except for light to gentle 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.
