Southeast Gulf of America

.SYNOPSIS...A broad area of low pressure, AL93, extends from
Mobile Bay southward to near 28N89W. This system is forecast to
continue moving westward across northern portions of the Gulf
and reach SE Louisiana late today. If this system moves far
enough offshore, environmental conditions over the Gulf appear
generally favorable for additional development, and a tropical
depression could form over the next day or two before the system
moves fully inland by Fri. Regardless of development, heavy
showers and thunderstorms are expected over the north-central
Gulf through Fri, with erratic gusty winds and rough seas
possible near convection. Atlantic high pressure will shift
westward into the NE Gulf over the weekend.

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

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to locally fresh E to SE winds are expected
north of the Greater Antilles to 26N and off the coast of
Florida west of 76W today as high pressure in the central
Atlantic along 31N-32N builds westward into Florida, in the wake
 of westward moving low pressure over the NE Gulf of America.
Scattered squalls and thunderstorms will move through the
northern Bahamas and southeast Florida coastal waters today,
associated  with a tropical wave passing south of the area.
Fresh winds will  pulse to strong each evening and night off the
coast of northern  Hispaniola into early Sat. Winds will
diminish off the coast of  Florida by early Fri, and north of
the Greater Antilles and the  Bahamas by Sat morning as high
pressure shifts to near 29N75W and  weakens. South of 20N,
moderate to occasionally fresh trade winds  and moderate seas
will prevail through this weekend.

of 27N. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Scattered showers and isolated tstms.
