Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A weak cold front has stalled across the western
Gulf, from southeastern Louisiana to the coast along the
Texas-Mexico border. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are
over the Gulf waters of NE Texas and Louisiana to the north of
the front. The front will shift eastward across the northern
Gulf through early Sun, then stall and weaken gradually through
Mon. Upper-level disturbances moving from W to E across the Gulf
coast states will maintain active weather over the northern Gulf
through 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.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 31N62W southwestward to
28N70W then stationary to just north of the NW Bahamas and to 
Melbourne, Florida. Isolated clusters of scattered showers and 
thunderstorms continue along the front. The cold front will move
 slowly eastward, and shift east of 55W early Mon. Active
weather  is expected to continue ahead of the front through Sun.
Moderate  to locally fresh winds and moderate seas are expected
across most  of the area through Sun night as weak high pressure
extends E to W roughly along 24N-25N. A new front will sink
southward into the  waters offshore of Georgia and NE Florida
early Mon, and move  southeastward and weaken through late Tue.
A residual trough may  linger from near 30N71W to the central
Bahamas Wed and Wed night.
