Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A surface trough will move into the eastern Gulf
tonight into Thu morning, bringing fresh NE to E winds.
Otherwise, high pressure pressure will dominate the basin
through Thu night, producing mainly gentle to moderate E to SE 
winds. A broad area of low pressure is expected to form over the 
southwestern Caribbean Sea during the next day or so.
Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for 
development, and a tropical depression or tropical storm is likely
to form late this week or over the weekend. The system is 
expected to move northwestward over the northwestern Caribbean Sea
and near or across the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico Fri night, and
into the Gulf of Mexico this weekend, where conditions are 
expected to be favorable for additional development. Mariners 
should closely monitor the progress of this system. While not 
explicitly in the forecast, this system has potential for 
significant strengthening in the Gulf of Mexico. Expect a large 
increase in winds and seas Fri night through Sun, mainly west of
84W.
