Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
951 PM EDT Tue Jun 11 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A broad area of low pressure near the west-central
coast of Florida is producing a large area of disorganized showers
and thunderstorms. This system is expected to move northeastward
across Florida tonight and offshore of the U.S. southeastern
coast by late Wed.  As a result, unsettled weather in the form
of numerous showers and thunderstorms with gusty winds will
persist over the east-central and southeastern Gulf waters
through Fri night as a trough lingers over the eastern Gulf.
Hazy conditions due to agricultural fires over Mexico will
continue to affect the western Gulf reducing visibility to
around 3 nm at times through at least the next couple of days.
