.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending from the western
Florida panhandle to inland Mexico just north of Tampico will
transition back to a cold front and move southeastward across
the basin, reaching from near Tampa Bay, Florida to S Texas
early Sat. 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. 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.
