Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A weak cold front has stalled across the western
Gulf, from southeastern Louisiana to the coast along the
Texas-Mexico border. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are
over the Gulf waters of NE Texas and Louisiana to the north of
the front. The front will shift eastward across the northern
Gulf through early Sun, then stall and weaken gradually through
Mon. Upper-level disturbances moving from W to E across the Gulf
coast states will maintain active weather over the northern Gulf
through 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.
