Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
442 PM EDT Thu Jun 20 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Remnants Of Alberto are near 22.3N 102.0W at 5 PM
EDT, and are moving west at 21 kt. Maximum sustained winds are 25
kt with gusts to 35 kt, and the minimum central pressure is 1000
mb. Alberto will dissipate Fri morning. A broad area of low
pressure is forecast to form over southeastern Mexico and northern
Central America on Friday. Environmental conditions appear
conducive for gradual development after this system moves over the
Bay of Campeche on Saturday, and a tropical depression could form
over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico this weekend while it moves
slowly west-northwestward or northwestward.
