Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
419 PM EDT Sat Jun 15 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A surface trough extends from the Florida Big Bend
region to the eastern Bay of Campeche this afternoon. The NE
portion will shift NW and dissipate tonight. A broad low to middle
level cyclonic circulation, a Central American Gyre, is centered
over the south-central Gulf of Mexico and extends into Central
America. This feature is expected to become better organized
through Mon, 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, then
move west or west-northwestward. Active convection across the
southeast Gulf, along with increasing winds and building seas,
is expected to shift westward with this system into the middle
part of next week, significantly impacting the south-central and
northwest Gulf.
