Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.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.
