NWS Marine Forecast


   GMZ001-170830-  Synopsis for the Gulf of America  416 PM EDT Wed Jul 16 2025      .SYNOPSIS...A broad area of low pressure, Invest AL93, is  centered along the Florida Panhandle coastline, and troughing  extends southwestward to near 27N90W. This system is forecast to  continue moving westward across the northern portion of the Gulf  through tonight, reaching the coast of Louisiana by Thursday. If  this system moves far enough offshore, environmental conditions  over the Gulf appear generally favorable for additional  development, and a tropical depression could form over the next  day or two before the system moves fully inland by the end of the  week. Regardless of development, heavy showers and thunderstorms  are expected over the north-central Gulf through Fri, and erratic  gusty winds and rough seas will be possible near convection. There  is a medium chance of formation within the next 48 hours.    $$
