Southeast Gulf of America .SYNOPSIS...A broad area of low pressure, Invest AL93, is centered along the Florida Panhandle coastline, and troughing extends southwestward to near 27N90W. This system is forecast to continue moving westward across the northern portion of the Gulf through tonight, reaching the coast of Louisiana by Thursday. 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 the end of the week. Regardless of development, heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected over the north-central Gulf through Fri, and erratic gusty winds and rough seas will be possible near convection. There is a medium chance of formation within the next 48 hours. .TONIGHT...SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. .THU...SE winds 10 to 15 kt.
