Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
354 AM EDT Sat Jun 29 2024

.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between a ridge along 28N and
a broad area of low pressure over the NW Caribbean Sea near the
eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula accompanied by a tropical
wave will support fresh to strong E to SE winds and building seas
spreading from the Yucatan Channel west-northwest through the
weekend. The system is then forecast to move west- northwestward,
emerging over the Bay of Campeche tonight or early Sun, where
conditions appear generally conducive for further development,
with the potential for tropical cyclone formation. Gentle winds
should prevail in the NE Gulf through the weekend. Conditions are
forecast to improve across the basin Mon through Wed.
