Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
423 AM EDT Fri Sep 20 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to locally fresh winds may pulse in the
eastern Bay of Campeche nightly through the next several days.
Looking ahead, a broad area of low pressure could form early next
week over the NW Caribbean Sea. Thereafter, gradual development
of this system is possible, and a tropical depression could form
as the system moves slowly to the N or NW over the NW Caribbean
Sea and into the southern Gulf of Mexico through the middle part
of next week. Regardless of development, winds and seas will start
increasing across the SE Gulf early next week.
