The consistent southeasterly flow will continue to bring moisture into the Gulf of Mexico today and, alongside the remnants of the stalled front along the US Gulf Coast, lead to a favorable environment for the productions of scattered showers and storms throughout the morning and afternoon today. Activity will favor western areas and areas close to the coast. Activity will begin to ease during the evening hours before tapering off overnight. Some strong storms containing gusts in excess of 45 kts are possible, though the majority of activity is forecast to remain under 40 kts in strength.
