Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1050 AM EDT Fri Jun 21 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A tight pressure gradient between the E Pacific
monsoonal flow and surface ridging across the northern Gulf of
Mexico is supporting fresh to strong E winds and rough seas in the
Bay of Campeche and moderate to fresh E winds elsewhere. Winds
over the SW basin are forecast to reach near gale-force later today
as a broad area of low pressure is expected to form over SE
Mexico, thus increasing the pressure gradient further. Environmental
conditions appear conducive for gradual development after this
system moves over the Bay of Campeche tonight, and a tropical
depression could form over the SW Gulf of Mexico this weekend
while it moves slowly west-northwestward or northwestward. Winds E
of 90W are forecast to diminish to gentle to moderate speeds Sat
night and to light to gentle speeds on Sun. Conditions are
forecast to improve W of 90W Sun night into Mon.
