Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from the Florida Big Bend SW to
the central Gulf near 25N90W to 22N93W where it transitions to a
stationary front that continues to Tamiahua, Mexico. Showers and
thunderstorms are expected to continue across the eastern Gulf
between Spring Hill, Florida and Marco Island this evening in
association with a pre-frontal trough. The front will lift as a
warm front over the western half of the basin tonight into Thu
while it stalls E of 90W. This will shift the focus of heavy
rain and thunderstorms to the NW Gulf on Thu. 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 during the weekend as the
gradient relaxes. Meanwhile, haze due to agricultural fires in
Mexico continues across most of the western Gulf and Bay of
Campeche.
