Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front is noted from the Sabine River to the
Rio Grande, with a stationary front extending just along the
northern Gulf coast from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle. To
the SE of these features, as surface trough extends from just
offshore the Florida Big Bend to just N of Tampico, Mexico. For
waters near and NW of the trough, several squall lines exist
within a broader area of strong thunderstorms. These
thunderstorms could bring strong to temporary gale force winds
and rough seas. The front will linger across the northern Gulf
over the next few days. This will cause heavy rain and
thunderstorms over the northern basin through Wed. Meanwhile,
moderate to fresh return flow will dominate the basin, pulsing
to 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.
