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 and waters just offshore the northern Yucatan
Peninsula. 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 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 coast
of Florida 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 couple of
days. The showers and thunderstorms will be numerous in coverage
and contain gusty winds and frequent lightning at times over most
of the western part of the forecast waters, mainly W of a line
from 31N70W to the central Bahamas. Expect for little change with
this convective activity 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.

5 ft. Scattered showers and isolated tstms.
