Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
338 PM EDT Sun Sep 22 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Disorganized showers and thunderstorms located over
the western Caribbean Sea are associated with a very broad area
of low pressure. Environmental conditions appear favorable for
gradual development of this system during the next several days. A
tropical depression is likely to form while the system moves
slowly northward across the northwestern Caribbean Sea and Gulf of
Mexico through the end of the week. There is a high chance of
tropical cyclone formation in the next seven days. Regardless of
development, winds and seas will start increasing across the SE
Gulf early this week, and spread across the eastern Gulf
thereafter.
