Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...An elongated area of low pressure over the Florida
peninsula is producing a large area of disorganized showers and
thunderstorms. This system is forecast to move northeastward
offshore of the U.S. Southeast coast tonight through late week.
As a result, unsettled weather in the form of numerous showers
and thunderstorms with gusty winds will persist over the eastern
Gulf through Fri night as a trough lingers over the Gulf. Hazy
conditions due to agricultural fires over Mexico will continue
to affect the western Gulf reducing visibility to around 3 nm at
times through at least the next couple of days. Looking ahead, a
broad area of low pressure could form over the weekend across
the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. Environmental conditions appear
conducive for some slow development early next week while the
system moves slowly westward or west-northwestward.
