.SYNOPSIS...A surface ridge over the Gulf waters will support
mostly gentle to moderate winds and slight seas across the basin
through Sat night. Looking ahead, a surface trough is expected
to move across the Gulf from east to west Sun through early next
week. The trough could form into a broad area of low pressure in
the central or W Gulf by the beginning of next week. Some slow
development of this system is possible thereafter as it moves
westward and approaches the western Gulf of Mexico coastline by
the middle of next week.
