forming over northern Mexico and a strengthening W Atlantic

basin Fri. A cold front will slow down and stall over the NW 
Gulf Sat through Sun, then dissipate by Mon. Fresh to locally 
strong NE to E winds will develop each evening N and W of the 
Yucatan Peninsula, then weaken overnight as a thermal trough 
heads NW from the Peninsula.
