Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1029 AM EDT Thu May 9 2024
.SYNOPSIS...Mainly fresh SE winds will prevail across much of the
Gulf through tonight, ahead of a cold front slowly approaching
from the NW. The cold front will move off the Texas coast into the
northwest Gulf Fri and move SE, stalling from south Texas to the
Straits of Florida on Sun, then weaken and drift northward.
Moderate to locally fresh NE winds will follow the front into Sat
evening. Haze due to agricultural fires in southeastern Mexico
persists across most of the western Gulf. Patchy fog is possible
along the northern Gulf coast today.
