AS THE LOW ENTERS THE SOUTHWEST GULF ON SATURDAY A STRONG HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL FORM ALONG THE SOUTHCENTRAL GULF. .MODEL DISCUSSION... THE MODEL ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH SATURDAY. THEN THERE IS SOME DIFFERENCE ON THE HANDLING OF THE LOW MOVING SOUTHEAST OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA SATURDAY. GFS IS A BIT DEEPER AND AND NOT AS FAST AS THE NAM AND MORE IN LINE WITH THE UKMET.
