Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Broad low pressure, Invest AL92, is positioned in
the SW Gulf near 21N95W at 1009 mb, with winds just below gale
force on the SW side. Numerous showers and thunderstorms are
across the waters from 19N to 26N and W of 92W. Development of
this system is expected, and a tropical or subtropical
depression or storm is likely to form this weekend or early next
week while moving eastward or northeastward across the Gulf of
Mexico. Regardless of development, increasing winds and building
seas along with plentiful showers and thunderstorms is expected
with the low. In additional, a front will gradually develop
across the northern Gulf and extend just NW of the low this
weekend into early next week, with increasing winds and building
seas N and W of the boundary. Conditions may finally improve
across the basin toward the end of the week.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A frontal trough extends from 31N58W to 24N66W.
Moderate to fresh winds are N fo 29N between 62W and 68W. This
feature will gradually shift S through the weekend. Meanwhile 
Hurricane Kirk will remain E the region as it moves through the 
north- central Atlantic through tonight. Very large swells 
generated by Kirk will mix with swell following the trough, 
producing rough and hazardous seas over the waters E of 75W into
early next week. Looking ahead, winds and seas may increase off 
Florida and near the Bahamas mid-week associated with a front 
moving into the region and low pressure over the Gulf of Mexico 
which has the potential for tropical cyclone formation. Farther E,
large NE swell may impact the waters SE of Bermuda Tue and Wed, 
while swells associated with tropical cyclone Leslie, forecast to 
remain E of the area, may impact the waters E of 60W by mid-week.
