Strong to possibly severe thunderstorms may are possible over the northeast Gulf this morning ahead of the fronts. The two fronts will merge tonight and reach from the northeast Gulf to west central Gulf. The merged front will continue to slowly drift south Tue, reaching from southwest Florida to near Veracruz Mexico through mid-week before stalling then dissipating from the Florida keys to the southwest Gulf Thu.
