Panhandle SW to the NW Gulf will dissipate overnight. Otherwise,

tropical wave moving across southern Mexico will continue to
support scattered showers and thunderstorms across the Bay of
Campeche and SW Gulf through Sun.

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, before
weakening. 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. A robust tropical wave currently in the central
Atlantic has the potential to develop into a tropical depression
 by the early to middle part of next week while the system
approaches and then moves near or over the Lesser Antilles.
Then,  the system is forecast to move generally W-NW and could
approach  portions of the Greater Antilles and SE Bahamas by the
middle to  latter part of next week. Regardless of development,
fresh winds  and rough seas are forecast for the SE offshore
waters from Mon  evening, increasing to near gale-force winds
across the SE waters  to just NE of Puerto Rico on Tue.
