Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...A broad area of low pressure over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico is producing poorly organized shower and thunderstorm activity. Gradual development of this system is possible, and a tropical depression could form before the system reaches the coast of northeastern Mexico Sunday night. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is likely to cause localized flooding across portions of northeastern Mexico and Deep South Texas through the end of the weekend. This system has helped produce gale-force winds near portions of the coast of eastern Mexico, which are expected to diminish this evening. Moderate to fresh winds and moderate seas prevail E of 90W and will diminish to gentle to moderate and slight seas tonight and to light to gentle speeds on Sun through Wed. Conditions are forecast to improve W of 90W Sun afternoon into Mon as the low pressure system moves inland across Mexico. Weak high pressure will reside over the E central Gulf Tue and Wed.
