216 FZNT25 KNHC 160227 OFFN04 NAVTEX Marine Forecast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1027 PM EDT Sat Jun 15 2024 ...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed Coastal Waters Forecasts... Southeast Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...A surface trough extends from the NE Gulf to the eastern Bay of Campeche this afternoon. A broad low to middle level cyclonic circulation, a Central American Gyre, has developed across Central America and southern Mexico. Environmental conditions appear conducive for a tropical cyclone to develop from this broad area of low pressure, and a tropical depression could form over the southwestern Gulf during the middle part of next week, then move west or west- northwestward. Active convection across the southeast Gulf, along with increasing winds and building seas, is expected to shift westward with this system into the middle part of next week, impacting the south-central and northwest Gulf. .OVERNIGHT...SE winds 15 to 20 kt late.
