Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
310 PM EDT Tue May 14 2024

.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. Meanwhile, haze due to agricultural fires in
Mexico continues across most of the western Gulf and Bay of 
Campeche.
