eastern Bay of Campeche nightly through the next several days.
Looking ahead, a broad area of low pressure could form by the

possible, and a tropical depression could form as the system
moves slowly to the north or northwest over the northwestern
Caribbean Sea and into the southern Gulf of Mexico through the
end of next week. There is a medium chance of tropical cyclone
formation in the next seven days. Regardless of development,
winds and seas will start increasing across the SE Gulf early
next week.
