Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
932 AM EDT Fri May 10 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front over the NW Gulf will shift SE across the
basin, reaching from near Tampa Bay, Florida to S Texas early Sat, 
stall from the Straits of Florida to S Texas on Sun, then 
gradually weaken with its remnants lifting back north as a warm 
front through Sun night. Moderate to locally fresh northeast 
winds will follow the front into Sat evening. Haze due to 
agricultural fires in southeastern Mexico continues across most of
the western Gulf. 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.
