Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
456 AM EDT Wed Jun 12 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A broad and elongated area of low pressure near the
west-central coast of Florida is producing a large area of
disorganized showers and thunderstorms. This system has moved
little over the past few hours, but is expected to move
northeastward across Florida, and move offshore of the U.S.
Southeast coast within the next day or so. 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.
