Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong NW to N winds and rough seas are
expected over the SW Gulf, including the Veracruz area, through
at least Fri as a trough of low pressure develops over the
western Gulf. A broad trough of low pressure is producing a
large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms that
extends from the southwestern Caribbean Sea into the southern
Gulf of Mexico. Environmental conditions could support some
gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression
could form towards the end of this week or this weekend as the
broader disturbance moves fully into the Gulf of Mexico.
Interests along the U.S. Gulf Coast should continue to monitor
the progress of this system. Elsewhere, gentle to moderate winds
and slight to moderate seas will prevail trough Fri. Looking
ahead, increasing winds and building seas are forecast for the
northern Gulf during the upcoming weekend.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS....Weak high pressure will support light to gentle
variable winds and slight to moderate seas S of 28N through Thu.
N of 28N, gentle to moderate W to NW winds will dominate as a
low pressure develops N of the area and moves eastward through
Thu before intensifying Thu night. The low will then shift SE
and enter the NE offshore waters Fri night along with fresh to
locally strong winds and rough seas. Otherwise, Hurricane Kirk 
well E of the area near 16.2N 40.1W at 5 PM EDT, will continue 
to strengthen into end of the week. Rough seas and resultant
swell  generated by Kirk may reach the eastern forecast waters
Thu night  into the weekend.
