Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A broad low to middle level cyclonic circulation, 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 WNW to NW into the SW
Gulf of Mexico. A broad area of low pressure is forecast to form
from this system over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico in a day
or two. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual
development of this system, and a tropical depression could form
by midweek while it moves slowly westward or west-northwestward.
Active convection across the southeast Gulf, along with
increasing winds to gale-force and rough seas, is expected to
shift westward with this system Mon evening through the middle
part of the week, impacting the south-central and northwest
Gulf.

Scattered showers and isolated tstms.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Scattered showers and thunderstorms persist in the
vicinity of a 1015 mb low and associated trough extending to the
Turks and Caicos. Fresh NE to E winds will develop N of 25N and
west of 60W by Mon morning, as high pressure builds north of the
rea. The low will weaken into a trough by Mon evening, however, a
low pressure is forecast to re-develop by midweek a few hundred
miles northeast of the central Bahamas. Environmental conditions
could be conducive for some development of this system thereafter
while it moves westward or west-northwestward.
