Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
331 AM EDT Mon Jun 17 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A Central American Gyre is currently over southern
Mexico and Central America. The gyre center is expected to persist
through the middle of this week, while shifting W to WNW into the
SW Gulf of Mexico. Showers and thunderstorms across the SE Gulf,
along with increasing winds to gale- force and rough seas, are
expected to shift over the W Gulf with this system. Environmental
conditions appear conducive for a tropical cyclone to develop from
this broad circulation, and a tropical depression or tropical
storm is likely to form by midweek while it moves toward the
western Gulf coast.
