Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...The north portion of a tropical wave moving westward
across SW Mexican offshore waters will continue to support
scattered showers and thunderstorms across the Bay of Campeche
and SW Gulf through this evening. Otherwise, a weak surface
ridge will maintain gentle to moderate winds and slight seas
across most of the basin through Thu.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Atlantic high pressure centered NE of Bermuda
extends a ridge southwestward across the Northern Bahamas and
central Florida, and will remain in place through Mon, then
shift NE and weaken through Wed. This pattern will promote
gentle to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas, except for
fresh to strong winds during the evening and nighttime hours
along the north coast of Hispaniola through Mon. A robust
tropical wave currently in the central Atlantic is expected to
gradually develop over the next few days, and a tropical
depression is likely to form by within the next couple of days
while the system approaches and then moves near or over the
Leeward Islands. Interests on these islands should continue to
monitor the progress of this system, and watches or warnings
could be required for portions of the area as soon as later
today. The  system could approach portions of the Greater
Antilles by the  middle of the week. Regardless of development,
gale conditions  are expected to begin affecting the SE Atlantic
waters and  portions of the extreme NE Caribbean beginning early
Wed morning.
