Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1108 PM EDT Mon May 13 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front is moving into the into the 
northwestern Gulf with strong thunderstorms with it. 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 along with an inverted trough. This will 
cause heavy rain and thunderstorms over the northern basin the 
next few days. 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.
