Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...An elongated area of low pressure over the Florida peninsula continues to produce a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Although upper-level winds are expected to be only marginally conducive, some slow development is possible while the system moves northeastward offshore of the U.S. Southeast coast tonight through late week. As a result, unsettled weather in the form of numerous showers and thunderstorms with gusty winds will persist over the SE Gulf through at least Fri as a trough lingers over the Gulf waters. Looking ahead, a broad area of low pressure could form over the weekend across the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. Environmental conditions appear conducive for some slow development early next week while the system moves slowly westward or west-northwestward. Increasing winds and building seas are expected with this system. Gulf of Mexico N of 26N W of 87W .TONIGHT...E winds less than 10 kt.
