Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A tight pressure gradient between the E Pacific
monsoonal flow and surface ridging across the northern Gulf of
Mexico is supporting fresh to strong E winds and rough seas in
the Bay of Campeche and moderate to fresh E winds elsewhere.
Winds over the SW basin are forecast to reach near gale-force
later today as a broad area of low pressure is expected to form
over SE Mexico, thus increasing the pressure gradient further.
Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual
development after this system moves over the Bay of Campeche
tonight, and a tropical depression could form over the SW Gulf
of Mexico this weekend while it moves slowly west-northwestward
or northwestward. Winds E of 90W are forecast to diminish to
gentle to moderate speeds Sat night and to light to gentle
speeds on Sun. Conditions are forecast to improve W of 90W Sun
night into Mon.

.THIS AFTERNOON...E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft.
.TONIGHT...E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Scattered showers
and isolated tstms.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A small area of showers and thunderstorms persists
with a 1014 mb low pressure system located near 30N79W or around
130 nm E-SE of Jacksonville, Florida. Environmental conditions
remain marginally conducive for some additional development, and
this system could become a short-lived tropical depression as
the low moves W-NW at 10 to 15 kt. The system is expected to
reach the coast of NE Florida or Georgia by tonight. Regardless
of development, fresh to near gale force NE to E winds and rough
seas to 10 ft will prevail across the waters N of 30N and W of
77W through today. Afterward, high pressure will build in the
wake of the low, supporting gentle to moderate winds through Tue
night. Otherwise, moderate to fresh E winds are expected for
Hispaniola adjacent waters, the approaches to the Windward
Passage and the Great Bahama Bank today through Sat.

.THIS AFTERNOON...N of 27N and W of 77W NE to E winds 20 to 30 kt.
Seas 8 to 11 ft. Elsewhere SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 7 ft.
.TONIGHT...SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Scattered
showers and isolated tstms.
