Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1033 AM EDT Thu Jun 13 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A trough extends from near Tampa Bay, Florida to the
central Bay of Campeche. Scattered to numerous showers and
thunderstorms are southeast of the trough impacting most of the
southeastern Gulf and waters just offshore the northern Yucatan
Peninsula. The trough is expected to gradually weaken through
late Fri. Looking ahead, a broad area of low pressure is forecast
to form over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico this weekend or
early next week. Environmental conditions appear conducive for
gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression
could form during the early or middle part of next week while it
moves slowly westward or west-northwestward. Increasing winds and
building seas are expected with this system.
