Southeast Gulf of America

.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure centered across the NW Gulf
extends a narrow ridge southeastward to the Yucatan Peninsula,
and will meander about the NW Gulf through late Thu. A weak
1012 mb low pressure, Invest AL93, is along the coast of the
Florida Big Bend near 30N84W. This system is expected to move
generally westward and could emerge or redevelop over the far
northeastern to north-central portion of the Gulf, reaching the
coast of Louisiana by Thu. If this system moves far enough
offshore, environmental conditions over the Gulf appear
generally favorable for additional development, and a tropical
depression could still form over the next couple of days before
the system moves fully inland by the end of the week.
Regardless, scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms,
some with strong gusty winds and locally rough seas, will
accompany this system. The Atlantic ridge will build westward
across the Gulf along 28N over the weekend.

isolated tstms.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...1026 mb high pressure centered near 32N61W extends a
 ridge westward to offshore the Georgia and South Carolina
coasts.  This high pressure will build gradually westward across
the region and across Florida today through Sat as low pressure
across the  NE Gulf of America shifts westward. The pressure
gradient between  the Atlantic ridge and this low pressure will
support moderate to  fresh SE to S winds across the Bahamas and
through the NW zones  through early Thu, then continue across
the southern Bahamas  through Fri night as the high slides west
to 75W. High pressure  will then weaken over the weekend.

.TODAY...SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Scattered showers
and isolated tstms.
