Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
448 AM EDT Mon Sep 23 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Showers and thunderstorms are beginning to show signs
of organization with a broad low pressure centered over the NW
Caribbean. Environmental conditions appear favorable for further
development of this system, and a tropical depression or storm is
likely to form over the next couple of days as the low moves
north across the NW Caribbean and into the SE Gulf of Mexico,
where additional development is possible. Regardless of
development, heavy rain and increasing winds and seas are expected
across portions of the eastern Gulf of Mexico by the middle of
this week. There is a high chance of tropical formation within
the next 48 hours.
