GMZ001-210800- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 355 PM EDT Fri Sep 20 2024 .SYNOPSIS...Moderate to locally fresh winds may pulse in the eastern Bay of Campeche nightly through the next several days. Looking ahead, a broad area of low pressure could form by the early to middle part of next week over the northwestern Caribbean Sea. Thereafter, gradual development of this system is possible, and a tropical depression could form as the system moves slowly to the north or northwest over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and into the southern Gulf of Mexico through the end of next week. There is a medium chance of tropical cyclone formation in the next seven days. Regardless of development, winds and seas will start increasing across the SE Gulf early next week. $$ GMZ040-210800- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 355 PM EDT Fri Sep 20 2024 .TONIGHT...E to SE winds 10 kt.
