Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from north-central Florida to
28N90W and to inland southern Texas will stall across the
central Gulf by late tonight. Strong south winds and building
seas will follow the western half this front over the western
and central Gulf as it lifts north of the area as a warm front
through Sun ahead of a second cold front that will be
approaching the NW Gulf. This front will move off the Texas
coast late Sun, followed by a stronger cold front early Mon.
Scattered showers and strong to possibly severe thunderstorms
may precede this front. The fronts will merge then continue to
slowly drift south, reaching from southwest Florida to near
Tampico Mexico through mid-week. Meanwhile, smoke from
agricultural fires in southern Mexico may reduce visibility over
the southwest Gulf and Bay of Campeche.
