Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A tight pressure gradient between the E Pacific
monsoonal flow and surface ridging across the northern Gulf of
Mexico is supporting fresh to near gale-force E to NE winds and
rough seas in the Bay of Campeche and moderate to fresh E winds
elsewhere. Winds over the SW basin are forecast to remain near
gale-force as a broad area of low pressure is expected to form
over the Bay of Campeche by this evening, thus increasing the
pressure gradient further. Environmental conditions appear
conducive for gradual development of this system as it moves
slowly west-northwestward or northwestward, and a tropical
depression could form over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico this
weekend. Winds E of 90W are forecast to diminish to gentle to
moderate speeds Sat night and to light to gentle speeds on Sun.
Conditions are forecast to improve W of 90W Sun night into Mon.

.TONIGHT...E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Scattered showers
and isolated tstms.
.SAT...E to SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Scattered
showers and isolated tstms.
.SAT NIGHT...SE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. Scattered
showers and isolated tstms.
.SUN...E to SE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft in the morning,
subsiding to 2 ft or less. Scattered showers and isolated tstms.
.SUN NIGHT...SE to S winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less,
building to 3 ft after midnight.
.MON...E to SE winds less than 5 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
.MON NIGHT...SE to S winds less than 5 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.

afternoon. Seas 2 ft or less.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Showers and thunderstorms associated with a well-
defined low pressure area centered about 80 miles east-southeast
of Brunswick, Georgia, continue to lack the necessary
organization for the low to be considered a tropical cyclone.
However, only a small increase in the organization of the showers
and thunderstorms could result in the formation of a short-lived
tropical depression before it reaches the coast of northeastern
Florida or Georgia tonight. Regardless of development, fresh to
near gale-force SE winds and rough seas to 9 ft will prevail
across the waters N of 30N and W of 78W through today. Afterward,
high pressure will build in the wake of the low, supporting gentle
to moderate winds through Tue night. Otherwise, moderate to fresh
E winds are expected for Hispaniola adjacent waters, the
approaches to the Windward Passage and the Great Bahama Bank today
through Sat.

.TONIGHT...E to SE winds 15 to 30 kt N of 30N W of 78W and 10 to
15 kt elsewhere. Seas 3 to 9 ft. Scattered showers and isolated
tstms.
.SAT...E to SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Scattered
showers and isolated tstms.
.SAT NIGHT...E to SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 ft. Scattered
showers and isolated tstms.
.SUN...E winds 5 to 10 kt S of 27N, and SE to S 10 to 15 kt N of
27N. Seas 3 ft. Scattered showers and isolated tstms.
.SUN NIGHT...SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 ft.
.MON...SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 ft.
.MON NIGHT...S winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 ft.
.TUE...S to SW winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 ft in the morning,
subsiding to 2 ft or less.
.TUE NIGHT...S winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
.WED...SW winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
.WED NIGHT...S to SW winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
