.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 generating fresh to strong winds and moderate seas. A broad
area of low pressure could form from this trough. Thereafter,
some slow tropical development of this system is possible as it
moves westward and approaches the western Gulf of Mexico
coastline by the middle of next week.
