.SYNOPSIS...A 1017 mb high pressure centered over the SW
Louisiana offshore waters will drift ESE to the north-central
Gulf before dissipating tonight. A stalled front along southern
Georgia and Alabama will linger in this area through Thu,
supporting scattered showers and tstms in the NE basin through
Thu night and moderate SW to W winds through tonight. Otherwise,
a tropical wave over the northwestern Caribbean Sea is forecast
to move across Central America during the next couple of days
and emerge over the Bay of Campeche, where an area of low
pressure could form on Friday. Some gradual development of this
system is possible while it moves NW over the southwestern Gulf
of Mexico through the weekend. Regardless of development,
moderate to fresh winds are expected across the SW and
west-central gulf Thu through Sat night.
