Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from near Fort Myers,
Florida to the central Gulf near 27N90W and to inland Texas near
Corpus Christi. Mostly moderate east to southeast winds are
north of 27N and west of 90W. The eastern portion of the front
will slowly move southeastward and extend from the Straits of
Florida to the central Gulf this morning, where it will stall
again and weaken with its remnants lifting back N as a warm
front through Sun night. Moderate to fresh return flow will
dominate for the end of the weekend into early next week, with
another front or trough possibly impacting the western Gulf Mon
night. High pressure should rebuild across the basin mid-week,
with moderate to fresh SE-S winds, locally strong. Meanwhile,
haze due to agricultural fires in Mexico continues across most
of the western Gulf and Bay of Campeche. Fresh to strong winds
will pulse near the Yucatan Peninsula each evening through the
period.
