Northeastern and north-central Gulf (AL93): A broad area of low pressure is moving westward across the Florida Panhandle between Tallahassee and Panama City. This system is forecast to continue moving westward, and could emerge or redevelop over the far northeastern to north-central portion of the Gulf later today or tonight. This system has a medium chance of formation over the next 7 days.
