Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Weak surface ridging over the Gulf waters will
support gentle to locally moderate easterly winds and slight
seas through the upcoming weekend. Moderate winds may pulse in

into Fri with little change in winds and seas. Looking ahead, a
broad area of low pressure could form early next week over the
western and NW Caribbean Sea. Thereafter, gradual development of
this system is possible, and a tropical depression could form as
the system moves slowly to the N or NW over the NW Caribbean Sea
and into the SE Gulf of Mexico through the middle part of next
week. Regardless of development, winds and seas will start
increasing across the SE Gulf by late Mon.
