Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A warm front is moving northward over the north
central and northwest Gulf, followed by fresh to strong
southerly winds. The front will move north of the area this
morning ahead of a cold front expected to move off the Texas
coast this afternoon. The cold front will stall from the Florida
Big Bend area to the southwest Gulf by early Mon, as another
cold front moves off the Texas coast. Strong to possibly severe
thunderstorms may precede this reinforcing front as it moves
over the northern Gulf. The fronts will merge then continue to
slowly drift south, reaching from southwest Florida to near
Tampico Mexico through mid-week and from the Florida keys to
near 24N90W and the eastern Bay of Campeche Thu. Meanwhile,
increasing smoke from agricultural fires in southern Mexico is
likely to reduce visibility over the SW Gulf.
