Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
440 PM EDT Sat Jun 29 2024

.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between a ridge along the Gulf
coast states and a broad area of low pressure over the Yucatan
Peninsula will support fresh to strong E to SE winds and
building seas spreading from the Yucatan Channel west-northwest
through the remainder of the weekend. The system is forecast to
move west- northwestward, where conditions appear generally
conducive for further development. A tropical depression could
form before the system moves inland over Mexico early next week.
Conditions are forecast to improve across the basin Mon through
Thu.
