.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from Tampa Bay, Florida to
27N85W where it transitions to a warm front to the South Texas
coast. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue across
portions of the eastern Gulf through this morning along the
front. The warm front will continue lifting northward today and
stall tonight into Fri along the northern Gulf coast. This will
shift the focus of heavy rain and thunderstorms to the northern 
Gulf today through the weekend. Elsewhere, moderate to fresh 
return flow will dominate the basin. Winds will slightly weaken 
Sun into early next week as the gradient relaxes. Meanwhile, haze
due to agricultural fires in Mexico continues across most of the
western Gulf.
