Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure extending from the western Atlantic to
across the central Gulf will maintain moderate to fresh SE winds
over the western and central Gulf and mainly gentle SE winds
elsewhere through the the week. A large area of low pressure is 
expected to develop near the Yucatan Peninsula and far 
northwestern Caribbean Sea mid-week. This system could become a 
tropical depression while it moves northeastward across the far 
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 SE Gulf going into the 
upcoming weekend.

.SYNOPSIS...The subtropical ridge will change little over the 
western Atlantic through the next few days. An upper level
trough over the SE U.S. and surface trough over the Bahamas will
keep showers and thunderstorms over the western part of the area
through the week. Low pressure expected to develop in the 
vicinity of the southeastern Gulf of Mexico and far northwestern
 Caribbean Sea late this week is forecast to track northeastward
