Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
459 PM EDT Sun Jun 16 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A broad low to middle level cyclonic circulation, also
known as 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 WNW to NW into the
SW Gulf of Mexico. A broad area of low pressure is forecast to
form from this system over the SW Gulf of Mexico on Monday or
Tuesday. Environmental conditions appear conducive for subsequent
gradual development of the low, and a tropical depression or
tropical storm could form by midweek while it moves slowly
W or W-NW. Heavy showers and tstsms 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 Mon evening through late
Wed.
