Tropical Storm Eta over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico near 23.7N 84.8W 995 mb at 4 PM EST is moving SW at 14 kt. Maximum sustained winds 45 kt gusts 55 kt. Eta will move to near 23.2N 85.3W late tonight and continue on this motion through Tue while strengthening some with a slow northward motion expected Wed over the eastern Gulf of Mexico. A tropical wave, currently in the eastern Caribbean, will move through the central Caribbean during the next couple of days during which low pressure could form from it. Beyond the next two days, atmospheric conditions are forecast to be conducive for development, and a tropical depression could form late this week or over the weekend while the system moves slowly westward. Expect for winds and seas to increase over most sections of the central Caribbean beginning on Thu. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... A tight gradient between strong high pressure along the Mid- Atlantic coast and Tropical Storm Eta over the southeastern Gulf will allow for strong to near gale force winds to continue over the western Atlantic during the next couple of days, with gale force winds continuing off the coast of northern Florida through late tonight. These winds will maintain large seas in the western Atlantic through Tue before gradually subsiding through late Thu night. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO... .GMZ015...NE GULF N OF 25N E OF 87W...
