Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A trough extends from near Tampa Bay, Florida to the
central Bay of Campeche. Scattered to numerous showers and
thunderstorms are southeast of the trough impacting most of the
southeastern Gulf waters where fresh to strong southerly winds
are noted. The trough is expected to gradually weaken through
late Fri. Looking ahead, a broad area of low pressure is
forecast to form over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico late this
weekend or early next week. Environmental conditions appear
conducive for gradual development of this system, and a tropical
depression could form during the early or middle part of next
week while it moves slowly westward or west-northwestward.
Increasing winds and building seas are expected with this
system.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...An elongated area of low pressure offshore the
southeastern U.S coast is producing a large area of disorganized
showers and thunderstorms. Despite strong upper-level winds, some
gradual development is possible while the system moves
northeastward offshore of the southeastern U.S. coast during the
next day or so. Numerous showers and thunderstorms are associated
with this system impacting mainly the waters N of 27N and W of
74W. Gusty winds, higher seas and frequent lightning will be
associated with this convective activity forecast to persist
through at least Fri. Fresh to strong southerly winds are expected
over the western Atlantic ahead of this system during the next
couple of days. As the low pressure departs, high pressure will
build southward over the western Atlantic beginning this weekend
and into early next week.
