Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
304 PM EDT Wed Jun 12 2024

.SYNOPSIS...An elongated area of low pressure over the Florida
peninsula continues to produce a large area of disorganized
showers and thunderstorms. Although upper-level winds are
expected to be only marginally conducive, some slow development
is possible while the system moves northeastward offshore of the
U.S. Southeast coast tonight through late week. As a result,
unsettled weather in the form of numerous showers and thunderstorms
with gusty winds will persist over the SE Gulf through at least
Fri as a trough lingers over the Gulf waters. Looking ahead, a
broad area of low pressure could form over the weekend across
the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. Environmental conditions appear
conducive for some slow development early next week while the
system moves slowly westward or west-northwestward. Increasing
winds and building seas are expected with this system.
