Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from Tampa Bay, Florida
to 27N88W, where it transitions to a warm front to the central
Texas coast. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue
across portions of the eastern Gulf through this morning along
the front. The warm front will continue lifting northward today,
then stall tonight into Fri along the northern Gulf coast. This
will shift the focus of heavy rain and thunderstorms to the
northern Gulf today through the weekend. Elsewhere, moderate to
fresh return flow will dominate the basin, pulsing to locally
strong near the Yucatan Peninsula and the Bay of Campeche. Winds
will slightly weaken Sun into early next week as the gradient
relaxes. Meanwhile, haze due to agricultural fires in Mexico
continues across most of the western Gulf and Bay of Campeche.
