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 increasing winds to gale- force and rough
seas, are expected to shift 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.

.TODAY...E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 5 to 7 ft.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms persist
in the vicinity of a surface trough extending from 30N60W to
near the Turks and Caicos. The trough will shift eastward early
this week. Gentle to moderate NE to E winds will reach fresh
speeds N of 25N and west of 60W later this morning as high
pressure builds in the wake of the 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.
