Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1048 AM EDT Wed Jul 3 2024

.SYNOPSIS...A weak ridge across the northern Gulf will linger
through Thu in advance of Beryl, now approaching Jamaica in the
west-central Caribbean. Major Hurricane Beryl is near 17.1N 76.1W
at 11 AM EDT,  moving west-northwest at 16 kt. Maximum sustained
winds are 125 kt with gusts to 150 kt, and the minimum central
pressure is 952 mb. Beryl is expected to maintain a W-NW motion
and weaken slowly, moving inland over the Yucatan Peninsula Fri
morning near 19.7N 88.2W, and weakening to a tropical storm. Beryl
is expected to emerge off the western Yucatan Peninsula near
20.5N 90.7W Fri evening. Beryl will then turn more NW and
strengthen to a hurricane over the Gulf near 23.5N 96W Sun
morning. There remains some uncertainty in the track and intensity
forecast of Beryl over the western Gulf of Mexico this weekend.
Interests in the southwestern and western Gulf of Mexico should
monitor the progress of Beryl.
