651 FZNT32 KNHC 151520 OFFN21 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast NWS National Hurricane Center Miami, FL 1120 AM EDT Sat Jun 15 2024 Marine Weather HF Voice Broadcast for the Gulf of Mexico Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...A surface trough extending from N central Florida to the Yucatan Peninsula will shift NW and dissipate through tonight. A broad low to middle level cyclonic circulation, a Central American Gyre, is centered over the Yucatan Peninsula and Central America this morning, and is expected to become better organized this weekend, as it drifts westward. 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. Active convection across the southeast Gulf this morning, along with increasing winds and building seas, are expected with this system in the early to mid part of next week, mainly impacting the south-central and northwest Gulf.
