Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A weak front extends from the Florida Panhandle near
Panama City Beach southwestward to near 22.5N95.5W. Scattered
showers and thunderstorms are north of 27N and east of 90W, and
is being supported by a mid-level trough. The front will shift
eastward tonight before stalling again on Sun from Tampa Bay to
the central Gulf, and weaken gradually through Mon. Elsewhere,
moderate to fresh return flow will dominate the basin through
early Sun, pulsing to locally strong near the Yucatan Peninsula
and the Bay of Campeche. 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.
Moderate to locally fresh SE return flow will develop again
across the W Gulf Tue through Thu night.
