.SYNOPSIS...A surface ridge over the Gulf waters will support
mostly gentle to moderate winds and slight seas across most of
the basin today. Moderate to fresh winds are noted in the
eastern Gulf due to a trough extending across the region.
Looking ahead, an area of disturbed weather located in the far
eastern Gulf of Mexico is expected to lead to the formation of a
broad area of low pressure early this week. Some slow
development of this system could occur thereafter as it moves
westward at about 15 to 20 kt, and a tropical depression could 
form as it approaches the western Gulf of Mexico coastline by 
Tuesday. This system has a low chance of development in 48 hours 
and a medium chance in 7 days.
