Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1046 AM EDT Sun May 19 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A dissipating stationary front extends from near
Apalachicola, Florida southwestward to near 28N90W. Scattered 
showers and thunderstorms are between a line from 29N83W to 
26N89W to 24N94W and a line from 27N82W to 25N87W to 23N88W. This 
activity is being supported by a mid to upper-level trough that 
extends from the southeastern to the central Gulf. The front and 
associated weather will shift E to SE through Mon, when the front
will dissipate across the SE Gulf. Ahead of the front, moderate 
to fresh return flow will prevail this morning then gradually 
diminish through Mon. Meanwhile, hazy conditions due to 
agricultural fires in Mexico continue across most of the western 
Gulf and Bay of Campeche. Moderate to locally fresh SE return flow
will develop again across the W Gulf Tue through Thu night.
