Gentle to moderate easterly winds will persist south of a ridge across the northern Gulf through Wed, except for fresh east to southeast winds in the south-central and SW Gulf and over much of the western Gulf from late Tue night through Wed night. Active weather associated with a broad area of low pressure across Central America is expected to shift into the SW Gulf this weekend. Low pressure may develop along a trough axis over the SW Gulf this weekend possibly lingering into early next week. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... A ridge north of the region will maintain moderate to fresh trades across the Caribbean through the weekend. A broad area of low pressure centered over the Yucatan Peninsula is forecast to move westward over the southern Bay of Campeche during the weekend. This system has potential for some gradual development through early next week, and will enhance showers and thunderstorms over Bay and Campeche and southern Mexico during the next few days. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... High pressure ridging along 28N will shift slightly east- southeast through the weekend as a weak cold front moves to just offshore the southeastern U.S. and becomes stationary into early next week. A new area of high pressure will build southward from the Mid-Atlantic region over the NW waters Mon night through Tue night and become situated over the NW part of the area through Wed night, while possible broad troughing lifts northward just E of 65W. In general, rather tranquil marine conditions are expected over the forecast area through the period, with the possible exception being the far eastern part of the area Tue night through Wed night where there may be shower and thunderstorm activity associated with the possible broad trough. A mid to upper-level trough will support unsettled weather over the far SE part of the area through this evening. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...
