Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1113 PM EDT Tue May 14 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends over the NW Gulf from
central Louisiana to south of the Rio Grande. Ahead of the front,
thunderstorms are moving through portions of the central Gulf.
These thunderstorms could have locally stronger winds, rougher
seas, frequent lightning and heavy rain. Thunderstorms could
continue through Wed along the stationary front. Elsewhere, 
moderate to fresh return flow will dominate the basin, pulsing to 
locally strong near the Yucatan Peninsula and Yucatan Channel. 
Winds may slightly weaken 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.
