Atlantic high pressure extending its axis westward across the
Florida peninsula will shift southward on Sunday as a weak trough

slowly migrate westward across our local waters on Monday, with
this feature shifting into the northeast Gulf of Mexico by
Tuesday. Showers and thunderstorms will likely increase across our
local waters beginning later on Monday and Tuesday, with
prevailing winds shifting to southerly by Tuesday as this trough
slowly organizes over the eastern Gulf of Mexico towards midweek.
