Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A warm front extends from near Tampa, Florida to
near Mobile, Alabama. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are
over the western Gulf from 26N to 30N west of 94W. The front
will continue to lift northward and inland through this
afternoon, with strong thunderstorms ahead of it. A stationary
front is across the Texas coastal waters and will meander there
today before shifting eastward across the northern Gulf tonight
through Mon, supported by a series of upper-level disturbances
moving from W to E. This will maintain active weather over the
northern Gulf through most of the weekend. Elsewhere, moderate
to fresh return flow will dominate the basin, except pulsing to
locally strong near the Yucatan Peninsula and the Bay of
Campeche through Sat night. Winds will slightly weaken Sun into
early next week as the pressure gradient relaxes. Meanwhile,
areas of haze and smoke due to agricultural fires in Mexico
continue across most of the western Gulf and Bay of Campeche.

to the NW Bahamas and westward to inland central Florida near 
Melbourne. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are east 
of the front to near 61W and north of 26N. The cold front will 
move slowly eastward, and shift east of 55W by Mon. Active weather
is expected to continue ahead of the front through Sun. Fresh 
southerly winds ahead of the front will continue through Fri 
afternoon, then become moderate Fri night through Sat afternoon, 
then diminish further. Moderate to locally fresh winds and
