.SYNOPSIS...A surface ridge over the Gulf waters will support
mostly gentle to locally 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.
