of Mexico through the end of the week. There is a high chance of
tropical cyclone formation in the next seven days. Regardless of
development, winds and seas will start increasing across the SE
Gulf early this week.

.SYNOPSIS...An area of low pressure centered near 27N56W is

a short-lived tropical depression cannot be ruled out if showers
 and thunderstorms become better organized while the system
moves  generally northward over the central subtropical
Atlantic. There  is a low chance of tropical formation over the
next 48 hours.  Otherwise, a weak cold front will move off the
SE coast of the US  this afternoon, then slowly move across the
