Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
447 PM EDT Sat Jun 22 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A broad area of low pressure is located over the
southwest Gulf, with a mean 1006 mb center, AL93, near 21.5N95W.
Strong winds surround the low center to the S of 26N and W of 92W,
and have increased to gale-force between Tampico and Veracruz this
afternoon. Winds are expected to diminish below gale-force this
evening. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual
development of this system as it moves slowly northwestward, and
a tropical depression could form over the western Gulf of Mexico
this weekend. Moderate to fresh winds and moderate seas prevail E
of 90W and will diminish to gentle to moderate and slight seas
tonight and to light to gentle speeds on Sun through Wed.
Conditions are forecast to improve W of 90W Sun afternoon into Mon
as the low pressure system moves inland across Mexico. Weak high
pressure will reside over the E central Gulf Tue and Wed.
