<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""> 

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">1. A broad area of low pressure is producing disorganized shower and

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">thunderstorm activity over the Bay of Campeche. This system is

<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">expected to move slowly northwestward toward the northeastern coast
