ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDS WESTWARD ALONG 26N AND
INTO THE EASTERN GULF. MEANWHILE, A TROUGH WITH WEAK LOW PRESSURE
ALONG IT IS INLAND ACROSS NORTHEASTERN MEXICO AND EXTENDS INTO

POSSIBLY RE-EMERGE OVER THE NW GULF TODAY OR WED. ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS ARE MARGINALLY CONDUCIVE FOR THE FORMATION OF A SHORT-
LIVED TROPICAL STORM AS THIS OCCURS. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NW GULF TUE THROUGH THU AS
THIS SYSTEMS MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. OTHERWISE, A TIGHTENING
PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE BASIN WILL SUSTAIN FRESH TO STRONG
SOUTHERLY WINDS OVER THE WESTERN GULF TUE NIGHT THROUGH LATE THU
NIGHT, AND MODERATE TO FRESH WINDS OVER THE EASTERN GULF. WINDS
WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH FRI AS HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES IN OVER THE
EASTERN GULF.
