.SYNOPSIS...Tropical Storm Rafael is centered near 26.3N 91.9W
at 1500 UTC, or 320 nm NNW of Progreso Mexico, moving NNW at
3 kt. Estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb. Maximum
sustained wind speed is 35 kt with gusts to 45 kt. Gradual
weakening is expected through the next few days. Rafael is
expected to meander over the central Gulf of Mexico through
tonight, reaching near 26.4N 91.3W this evening as a tropical
depression, then turn toward the south and south-southwest,
reaching near 25.9N 90.8W as a remnant low Mon morning, near
24.1N 91.8W Tue morning, then continue to drift SW and gradually
dissipate Tue night. Looking ahead, moderate to locally fresh E
winds will build across the eastern half of the Gulf on Wed as a
cold front moves through the western Atlantic. A second cold
front will move through the western Gulf of Mexico late this
week, reinforcing fresh to locally strong NE winds and rough
seas across most of the Gulf.
