Southeast Gulf of America

.SYNOPSIS...A broad area of low pressure, AL93, is centered
along the western Florida Panhandle coast, and extends southward
to near 27N88W. This system is forecast to continue moving
westward across northern portions of the Gulf through tonight,
reaching SE Louisiana on 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 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.

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 through Thu 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 into central Florida tonight through Thu
morning,  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.
