Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A surface trough east of the Bahamas will move
westward, bringing fresh E winds to the area Wed night. Otherwise,
high pressure will dominate the basin through Fri, producing

expected to form in the western Caribbean late this week, and this
system could approach the Yucatan Peninsula or Belize by Sat. 
There is a medium chance of tropical cyclone formation within the 
next 5 days. An increasing pressure gradient between high pressure
over the Gulf waters and the possible tropical system over the 
western Caribbean will result in fresh to strong easterly winds 
over the SE Gulf during the upcoming weekend.
