Southeast Gulf of Mexico
.SYNOPSIS...A weak cold front has stalled across the western
Gulf, from southeastern Louisiana to the extreme NE coast of
Mexico. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are over the Gulf
waters from Louisiana to Alabama along and north of the front.
The front will shift eastward across the northern Gulf through
early Sun, then stall and weaken gradually through Mon. Upper-
level disturbances moving from W to E across the Gulf coast
states will maintain active weather over the northern Gulf
through the weekend. 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 and Wed.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida
.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 31N61W southwestward to
27N70W then stationary to just north of the NW Bahamas and to
Melbourne, Florida. Clusters of scattered showers and
thunderstorms continue along the front E of 65W. The cold front
will move slowly eastward, and shift east of 55W early Mon, with
active weather expected to continue ahead of the front through
Sun. Moderate to locally fresh winds and moderate seas are
expected across most of the area through Sun night as weak high
pressure extends E to W roughly along 24N-25N. A new front will
sink southward into the waters offshore of Georgia and NE
Florida early Mon, and move southeastward and weaken through
