Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Atlantic high pressure extends weakly across Florida
and into the eastern Gulf this morning. A stationary front along
the N Gulf coasts has drifted SE across the Texas and Louisiana
coastal waters, and will shift slowly SE and reach from the
western Florida Panhandle to the central Bay of Campeche by Fri
afternoon. Ahead of the front, fresh to locally strong winds
will pulse near and north of the Yucatan Peninsula the next few
evenings. A strong cold front is forecast to enter the
northwestern and west-central Gulf Sat afternoon, then move
eastward through early next week. This will result in fresh to
strong NW winds, reaching locally near gale-force, across the
western Gulf this weekend. Fresh to strong southerly winds are
forecast over the eastern Gulf ahead of the front early next
week. Hazy conditions generated by agricultural fire in Mexico
will linger across the west-central and central Gulf, and Bay of
Campeche through Thu.
