SOUTHEAST GULF OF AMERICA
SYNOPSIS
A BROAD UPPER-LEVEL LOW OVER THE BAY OF CAMPECHE
WILL SUSTAIN SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
OVER MUCH OF THE GULF THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A MODERATE PRESSURE
GRADIENT BETWEEN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC
AND A SURFACE TROUGH IN THE CENTRAL GULF WILL SUPPORT MODERATE
TO LOCALLY STRONG SE WINDS OVER MUCH OF THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
GULF INTO SUN. A WEAK COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE
NW GULF THIS WEEKEND, AND STALL FROM THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE TO NW
GULF AND TO THE SW BY LATE SUN. WEAK LOW PRESSURE MAY RIDE UP
ALONG THE FRONT DURING THE WEEKEND AND INTO MON ENHANCING WINDS
SOME IN THE NW GULF AND IN THE NORTH-CENTRAL GULF. THE FRONT
WILL REMAIN STATIONARY INTO MIDWEEK. FRESH TO LOCALLY STRONG NE
WINDS ARE EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT BEGINNING TUE, MAINLY IN THE
NE AND NORTH-CENTRAL GULF, AS STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
SOUTHWARD BEHIND IT. LIGHT TO MODERATE ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED
ACROSS THE BASIN THROUGH THE PERIOD.

SYNOPSIS
THE COMBINATION OF A TROUGH EXTENDING FROM SE OF
BERMUDA TO HISPANIOLA AND A BROAD UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH DIGGING
SOUTHWARD WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE WEEKEND BETWEEN BERMUDA AND THE
