Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
443 AM EDT Sat May 11 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending from the western
Florida panhandle to 27N93W and to inland Mexico at 23N98W
will soon transition back to a cold front this morning and move 
southeastward across the basin, reaching from near Tampa Bay, 
Florida to S Texas this morning. The front will stall again from 
the Straits of Florida to S Texas on Sun, then gradually weaken 
with its remnants lifting back N as a warm front through Sun 
night. Moderate to locally fresh northeast winds will follow the 
front into Sat evening. Moderate to fresh return flow will 
dominate for the start of next week, with another front or trough 
possibly impacting the western Gulf by Tue. Meanwhile, haze due to
agricultural fires in southeastern Mexico continues across most 
of the western Gulf and Bay of Campeche. Fresh to strong winds 
will pulse near the Yucatan Peninsula each evening starting Sat. 
East winds at fresh speeds are expected to develop in the NW Gulf 
Wed and Wed night and in the far south- central Gulf near and in 
the Yucatan Channel.
