Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1048 PM EDT Tue Jul 15 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure now centered across the NW Gulf
extends a narrow ridge southeastward to the Yucatan Channel, and
will meander about the NW Gulf through late Thu. A weak 1012 mb
low pressure, Invest AL93, is inland across north Florida near
30N82.5W, and is forecast to move westward, and could emerge over
the waters of the far northeastern and north-central Gulf,
possibly approaching the coast of Louisiana on Thursday.
Environmental conditions over the Gulf appear generally favorable
for additional development, and a tropical depression could form
if the system moves far enough offshore over the next couple of
days. Regardless, scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms,
some with strong gusty winds and locally rough seas, will
accompany this system.
