Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front in the NW Gulf from Louisiana to just S
of the Rio Grande has stalled this afternoon. Ahead of the
front, a squall line is moving through portions of the NE Gulf
from offshore the Florida Big Bend to south of the mouth of the
Mississippi River. Thunderstorms in this squall line may lead to
locally stronger winds and rough seas, along with heavy rain.
Through winds, additional thunderstorms are possible as the
front remains nearly stationary over the northern Gulf of
Mexico. Elsewhere, moderate to fresh return flow will dominate
the basin, pulsing to locally strong near the Yucatan Peninsula
and Yucatan Channel. Winds may weaken somewhat during the
upcoming weekend as the gradient relaxes.
