extend from the Florida Big Bend to NE Mexico Sat morning and
stall from near Tampa Bay to NE Mexico Sat night. Fresh to
strong winds are forecast for the NW basin Thu night through
early Fri. Otherwise, smoke from forest fires in southern Mexico
may cause haze and reduced visibilities over the SW Gulf for the
