SYNOPSIS
A WEAK STATIONARY FRONT STRETCHES SOUTHWESTWARD FROM
THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE TO NEAR BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS, WITH A
SURFACE RIDGE IN CONTROL FOR THE REST OF THE GULF WATERS. EXPECT
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE NORTHERN
OFFSHORE WATERS OF TEXAS TONIGHT AND FRI, THEN SPREAD SOUTH OF
NEW ORLEANS AND FLORIDA PANHANDLE FRI NIGHT AS THE FRONT SINKS A
BIT FARTHER SOUTH. THE FRONT WILL THEN STALL AND LIFT BACK TO
THE NORTH AS A WARM FRONT LATE FRI NIGHT THRU SAT. AFTERWARD,
THE RIDGE SHOULD BUILD BACK ACROSS THE GULF FROM THE EAST. IN
RESPONSE, WINDS WILL PULSE TO BETWEEN FRESH AND STRONG NEAR THE
YUCATAN PENINSULA IN THE EVENINGS THROUGH SAT NIGHT. LOOKING
AHEAD, ANOTHER COLD FRONT MIGHT MOVE INTO THE NORTHERN GULF
WATERS LATE SUN, AND REACH FROM NORTH-CENTRAL FLORIDA TO EASTERN
BAY OF CAMPECHE BY LATE ON MON, FOLLOWED BY MODERATE TO FRESH N
TO NE WINDS. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS,
SOME POSSIBLY STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE, ARE POSSIBLE TO
PRECEDE THE FRONTS.
