Southeast Gulf of America

.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure has shifted into the N-central
Gulf overnight, and extends a narrow ridge southeastward to the
Yucatan Channel. The high pressure will drift slowly W-NW and
settle across the NW Gulf through Thu. A 1014 mb low pressure is
just offshore of central Florida near 29N79.5W and is forecast
to move westward across Florida later today and tonight, and
eventually emerge over the northeastern Gulf late Tue or early
Wed. Environmental conditions appear generally favorable for
additional development, and a tropical depression could form by
the middle to latter part of this week as this system moves
across the northeastern and north-central Gulf. Regardless,
scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, some with
strong gusty winds, will accompany this system.

.TODAY...NW to N winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less. Scattered
tstms.
.TONIGHT...N winds 5 to 10 kt, shifting to SE after midnight.
Seas 2 ft or less. Scattered tstms.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A weak ridge along 29N extends from the central
Atlantic to 75W this morning, while a 1014 mb low has formed
near 29N79.5W. The low is expected to move westward across
Florida later today through tonight, and eventually emerge over
the  northeastern Gulf of America by late tonight or early Wed.
Environmental conditions appear favorable and some development
of this system is possible today before it moves over the
Florida  Peninsula. High pressure over the central Atlantic will
then build westward across the region and across Florida late
tonight  through Sat in the wake of the low pressure. Active
thunderstorms  are expected in association with this system over
the waters west  of 76W through tonight. The pressure gradient
between the Atlantic ridge building westward and the low
pressure will support  moderate to fresh SE to S winds across
the Bahamas and through the NW zones today through early Thu.

20 kt N of 27N. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Scattered tstms.
