Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A broad low to middle level cyclonic circulation,
also known as 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 increasing winds to gale- force and rough
seas, are expected to shift over the W Gulf with this system
early this week. 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.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms persist
in the vicinity of a surface trough extending from 30N60W to
near the Turks and Caicos. The trough will shift eastward early
this week. Gentle to moderate NE to E winds will reach fresh
speeds N  of 25N and west of 60W by Mon morning, as high
pressure builds in the wake of the trough. A new trough, or an
area of low pressure,  is forecast to form a few hundred miles
northeast of the central  Bahamas in a couple of days.
Environmental conditions could be  conducive for some
development of this system thereafter while it  moves westward
or west- northwestward. The system is forecast to  approach the
coast of the southeast United States on Thursday or  Friday.
Regardless of development, fresh to strong winds and  rough seas
will develop across the waters N of 25N Mon night  through Thu.
