Low Pressure Area In The Gulf Of Mexico - Update One

Low Pressure Area

In The Gulf Of Mexico

Friday, September 21, 2007
As of 5:30pm CDT:
THE LOW PRESSURE AREA OVER THE NORTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO HAS BEEN MOVING NORTHWESTWARD DURING THE NIGHT AND IS NOW CENTERED ABOUT 100 MILES SOUTH OF APALACHICOLA FLORIDA.

SATELLITE IMAGERY, RADAR DATA AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THE SYSTEM IS GRADUALLY BECOMING BETTER ORGANIZED BUT DOES NOT YET HAVE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A SUBTROPICAL OR TROPICAL CYCLONE.

SQUALLS WITH GUSTY WINDS UP TO 30 TO 35 MPH HAVE BEEN REPORTED AT OFFSHORE NOAA AUTOMATED STATIONS.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR THIS SYSTEM TO BECOME A SUBTROPICAL OR TROPICAL CYCLONE AT ANY TIME DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS IT MOVES GENERALLY TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST.

ALL INTERESTS ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM AND TROPICAL STORM WATCHES AND WARNINGS COULD BE REQUIRED FOR PORTIONS OF THIS AREA LATER TODAY. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT WILL BE INVESTIGATING THE SYSTEM IN A FEW HOURS.
