Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1010 PM EDT Fri Jun 28 2024

.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between a ridge along 27N and a
broad area of low pressure over the NW Caribbean Sea accompanied
by a tropical wave will support fresh to strong E to SE winds and
building seas spreading from the Yucatan Channel west-northwest
through the weekend. The system is then forecast to move west-
northwestward, emerging over the Bay of Campeche Sat night or
early Sun, where conditions appear generally conducive for further
development, with the potential for tropical cyclone formation.
Gentle winds should prevail in the NE Gulf through the weekend.
Conditions are forecast to improve across the basin Mon through
Wed.
