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

.SYNOPSIS...A surface trough extends from the NE Gulf to the
eastern Bay of Campeche this afternoon. A broad low to middle
level cyclonic circulation, a Central American Gyre, has
developed across Central America and southern Mexico.
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, impacting the south-central and
northwest Gulf.
