.SYNOPSIS...An Atlantic ridge extending west across Central
Florida to the Texas Coastal Bend will shift slightly north and
extend across the northern waters on Sat where it will meander
through Mon morning. A thermal trough will develop during the
evening hours over the Yucatan Peninsula, then move west across
the southwest waters during the overnight hours, and dissipate
by late each morning. A broad trough will develop across the
eastern gulf late Mon and drift west through Tue. Easterly winds
will begin to gradually increase across the southeast gulf
waters during the middle of next week in response to deepening
low pressure over the northwest Caribbean.
