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.
