Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
446 PM EDT Wed Jul 3 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A weak ridge across the northern Gulf will linger
through Thu in advance of Beryl, now moving along the southern
coast of Jamaica. Major Hurricane Beryl is near 17.5N 77.6W at 5 PM
EDT, moving west-northwest at 17 kt. Maximum sustained winds are
120 kt with gusts to 145 kt, and the minimum central pressure is
959 mb. Beryl is expected to maintain a W-NW motion across the
Caribbean and weaken slowly, moving inland over the Yucatan
Peninsula Fri morning near 19.5N 88.2W, and weakening to a
tropical storm. Beryl is expected to emerge off the western
Yucatan Peninsula near 20.4N 90.7W Fri evening and turn more NW,
reaching near 21.9N 93.9W Sat afternoon, then strengthen to a
hurricane near 24N 96.9W Sun afternoon, and move inland across the
Tamaulipas, Mexico coast late Sun evening. There remains some
uncertainty in the track forecast of Beryl over the western Gulf
of Mexico this weekend. Interests in the western Gulf of Mexico
should monitor the progress of Beryl.
