Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1019 PM EDT Thu Jun 13 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A trough extends from central Florida to the Yucatan
Peninsula. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are
southeast of the trough impacting most of the southeastern Gulf
waters. The trough will gradually weaken through late Fri.
A broad area of low pressure is forecast to form over the
southwestern Gulf of Mexico late this weekend or early next week.
Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development
of this system, and a tropical depression could form during the
early or middle part of next week while it moves slowly westward
or west-northwestward. Increasing winds and building seas are
expected with this system.
