Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from the Alabama coast to near
Tampico, Mexico. Showers and thunderstorms are expected across
the eastern Gulf today in association with a pre-frontal trough.
The front will lift as a warm front later today and linger 
across the northern Gulf over the next few days. This will shift 
the focus of heavy rain and thunderstorms to the northern Gulf on
Thu and Fri. Elsewhere, moderate to fresh return flow will 
dominate the basin. Winds will slightly weaken during the weekend
as the gradient relaxes. Meanwhile, haze due to agricultural 
fires in Mexico continues across most of the western Gulf.
