SOUTHEAST GULF OF AMERICA
SYNOPSIS
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED ACROSS THE NW GULF
EXTENDS A NARROW RIDGE SOUTHEASTWARD TO THE YUCATAN PENINSULA,
AND WILL MEANDER ABOUT THE NW GULF THROUGH LATE THU. A WEAK
1012 MB LOW PRESSURE, INVEST AL93, IS ALONG THE COAST OF THE
FLORIDA BIG BEND NEAR 30N84W. THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
GENERALLY WESTWARD AND COULD EMERGE OR REDEVELOP OVER THE FAR
NORTHEASTERN TO NORTH-CENTRAL PORTION OF THE GULF, REACHING THE
COAST OF LOUISIANA BY THU. IF THIS SYSTEM MOVES FAR ENOUGH
OFFSHORE, ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OVER THE GULF APPEAR
GENERALLY FAVORABLE FOR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT, AND A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION COULD STILL FORM OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE
THE SYSTEM MOVES FULLY INLAND BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
REGARDLESS, SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS,
SOME WITH STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND LOCALLY ROUGH SEAS, WILL
ACCOMPANY THIS SYSTEM. THE ATLANTIC RIDGE WILL BUILD WESTWARD
ACROSS THE GULF ALONG 28N OVER THE WEEKEND.
