A large area of low pressure is expected to develop near the Yucatan Peninsula and northwestern Caribbean Sea by mid-week. This system could become a tropical depression while it moves northeastward across the northwestern Caribbean Sea and southeastern Gulf of Mexico late this week. There is uncertainty with this expected system, however, shower and thunderstorm activity as well as winds will be on the increase for some areas of the southern and central Gulf going into the upcoming weekend. .TODAY...E to SE winds 10 to 15 kt.
