Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A Central American Gyre is currently over southern
Mexico and Central America. The gyre center is expected to
persist through the middle of this week, while shifting W to WNW
into the SW Gulf of Mexico. Showers and thunderstorms across the
SE Gulf, along with winds to gale-force and rough seas, are
expected to continue over the W Gulf with this system.
Environmental conditions appear conducive for a tropical cyclone
to develop from this broad circulation, and a tropical
depression or tropical storm is likely to form by midweek while
it moves toward the western Gulf coast.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms persist
in the vicinity of a low pres and surface trough extending from
30N61W to the low near 28N65W to 20N73W. These features will
shift eastward early this week. Gentle to moderate NE to E winds
will reach fresh speeds N of 25N and west of 60W early this
afternoon as high pressure builds in the wake of the low/trough. A
new trough, or an area of low pressure, is forecast to form a few
hundred miles northeast of the central Bahamas in a day or two.
Environmental conditions could be conducive for some development
of this system thereafter while it moves westward or west-
northwestward. The system is forecast to approach the coast of the
southeast United States on Thursday or Friday. Regardless of
development, fresh to strong winds and rough seas will develop
across the waters N of 25N tonight through Thu.
