Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-131415- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1009 PM EDT Wed Jun 12 2024 .SYNOPSIS...An elongated area of low pressure over the Florida peninsula continues to produce a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Despite strong upper-level winds, some gradual development is possible while the system moves northeastward offshore of the southeastern U.S. coast during the next couple of days. The showers and thunderstorms will be numerous in coverage and contain gusty winds and frequent lightning at times over the southeastern Gulf through at least Fri, and while a trough lingers over the eastern and central Gulf. Looking ahead, a broad area of low pressure could form this weekend over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. Environmental conditions appear conducive for some slow development of this system early next week while the system moves slowly westward or west-northwestward. Increasing winds and building seas are expected with this system. $$ GMZ040-131415- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1009 PM EDT Wed Jun 12 2024 .OVERNIGHT...E winds 10 kt.
