.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, an area of disturbed weather
located near the northwestern and central Bahamas is expected to
move into the Gulf of Mexico by early next week, where a broad
area of low pressure is expected to form. Some slow development
of this system is possible thereafter, and a tropical depression
could form as it moves westward and approaches the western Gulf
of Mexico coastline by the middle of next week.
