A surface trough runs southward from a 1014 mb low, former Invest AL93 over southeastern Louisiana to the central Gulf. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are occurring just southwest of New Orleans. An upper-level trough is triggering scattered thunderstorms in the Straits of Florida. Moderate to fresh NE to E to S-SE winds and moderate seas exist at the eastern Bay of Campeche, Florida Straits and northern Gulf between New Orleans, LO and Panama City, Fl. A surface ridge extending southwestward from central Florida to near Tampico, Mexico supports the rest of the Gulf with gentle E to SE winds and slight seas.
For the forecast, the remnants of AL93 will continue enhancing scattered moderate convection across the NW portion of the basin today. Elsewhere, weak surface ridging prevails. Moderate to fresh E to NE winds and moderate seas will prevail north of the Yucatan Peninsula and into the eastern Bay of Campeche each afternoon and evening into next week. High pressure building over the northeastern Gulf this weekend will support gentle to moderate winds and slight seas across remainder of the the basin.
