.SYNOPSIS...A Central American Gyre is currently over southern
Mexico and Central America. The gyre center is expected to
persist through the middle of this week, while shifting W to WNW
into the SW Gulf of Mexico. Showers and thunderstorms across the
SE Gulf, along with winds to gale-force and rough seas, are
expected to continue over the W Gulf with this system.
Environmental conditions appear conducive for a tropical cyclone
to develop from this broad circulation, and a tropical
depression or tropical storm is likely to form by midweek while
it moves toward the western Gulf coast.
