Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A trough extends southwestward from an elongated
area of weak low pressure near the east coast of Florida to near
Sarasota, Florida and to the northern Yucatan Peninsula.
Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are southeast of
the trough impacting most of the southeastern Gulf waters and
waters just offshore the northern Yucatan Peninsula. The trough
is expected to gradually weaken through late Fri while the low
pressure moves northeastward to offshore of the southeastern
U.S. Looking ahead, a broad area of low pressure is forecast to
form over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico this weekend. 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.

.TODAY...S winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. Winds and seas
higher in and near numerous showers and thunderstorms.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...An elongated area of low pressure near the east
coast of Florida, with an associated 1010 mb low just offshore
Port Canaveral, 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 31N68W to 26N71W to central Cuba.
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. High pressure will build southward over the western Atlantic
beginning this weekend and into early next week.

.TODAY...SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt S of 27N, and S to SW 15 to
20 kt N of 27N. Seas 3 to 5 ft S of 27N, and 6 to 8 ft N of 27N.
