Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front from near Venice, Florida to SE
Louisiana has begun to drift northward as a warm front.
Scattered to numerous strong thunderstorms are north of 28N
between SE Louisiana and the Florida Panhandle and are shifting
eastward. The front will continue to lift northward and inland
through late today, with strong thunderstorms ahead of it. A
stationary front is across the Texas coastal waters and will
meander there today before shifting E across the northern Gulf
tonight through Mon, supported by a series of upper-level
disturbances moving from W to E. This will maintain active
weather over the northern Gulf through most of the weekend.
Elsewhere, moderate to fresh return flow will dominate the
basin, except pulsing to locally strong near the Yucatan
Peninsula and the Bay of Campeche through Sat night. Winds will
slightly weaken Sun into early next week as the pressure
gradient relaxes. Meanwhile, areas of haze and smoke due to
agricultural fires in Mexico continue across most of the western
Gulf and Bay of Campeche.
