Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1107 AM EDT Sat Jun 15 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A surface trough extending from N central Florida to
the Yucatan Peninsula will shift NW and dissipate through tonight.
A broad low to middle level cyclonic circulation, a Central
American Gyre, is centered over the Yucatan Peninsula and Central
America this morning, and is expected to become better organized
this weekend, as it drifts westward. Environmental conditions
appear conducive for a tropical cyclone to develop from this broad
area of low pressure, and a tropical depression could form over
the southwestern Gulf during the middle part of next week. Active
convection across the southeast Gulf this morning, along with
increasing winds and building seas, are expected with this system
in the early to mid part of next week, mainly impacting the
south-central and northwest Gulf.
