Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...An elongated area of low pressure over the Florida peninsula is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. This system is forecast to move northeastward offshore of the U.S. Southeast coast tonight through late week. As a result, unsettled weather in the form of numerous showers and thunderstorms with gusty winds will persist over the eastern Gulf through Fri night as a trough lingers over the Gulf. Hazy conditions due to agricultural fires over Mexico will continue to affect the western Gulf reducing visibility to around 3 nm at times through at least the next couple of days. Looking ahead, a broad area of low pressure could form over the weekend across the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. Environmental conditions appear conducive for some slow development early next week while the system moves slowly westward or west-northwestward.
