Southwestern Gulf of Mexico (AL93): Updated: Showers and thunderstorms remain disorganized this afternoon in association with a broad area of low pressure located over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. Data from an Air Force Reserve Reconnaissance aircraft investigating the system has so far found the circulation remains elongated and not well-defined, with maximum sustained winds of only 20-25 mph. Based on the current structure, additional development is becoming unlikely before the system merges with a developing frontal boundary over the western Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday.
2. Regardless of tropical cyclone development, the system is forecast to produce gale-force winds over portions of the northern Gulf of Mexico by tomorrow, and potentially heavy rainfall along the Gulf Coast by the latter portion of this week.
