Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1029 AM EDT Sun May 5 2019

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from near Apalachicola FL to 
27N89W to 27N96W is supporting numerous showers and scattered 
thunderstorms over the NE and SW Gulf of Mexico. Thunderstorms 
are likely producing strong gusty winds and frequent lightning. 
The cold front will continue slowly moving southeast across the 
eastern Gulf Mon into Tue while weakening. A high pressure ridge 
will build northeast of the region through mid week. Diurnal 
trough development over the Yucatan Peninsula will support pulses 
of fresh to locally strong winds in the SW Gulf Mon through Thu. 
Smoke and haze from ongoing agricultural fires in Mexico could 
reduce visibilities in the western Gulf and the Bay of Campeche.
