Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
441 AM EDT Thu Jun 20 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Tropical Storm Alberto is near 22.3N 97.3W at 5 AM
EDT, and is moving west at 11 kt. Maximum sustained winds are 45
kt with gusts to 55 kt, and the minimum central pressure is 993
mb. Alberto will move inland and weaken to a tropical depression
near 22.1N 100.6W this afternoon, and dissipate Fri morning.
Another broad area of low pressure is forecast to form near the
Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico on Friday. Environmental conditions
appear to be conducive for gradual development thereafter, and
this system could become a tropical depression over the
southwestern Gulf of Mexico this weekend while it moves slowly
west-northwestward or northwestward.
