Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
420 PM EDT Thu Oct 3 2024

.SYNOPSIS...Strong to near gale force winds over a portion of
the SW Gulf that includes within 60 nm offshore Veracruz will
diminish to fresh to strong speeds tonight. Little change is
expected through Sat. Rough seas with these winds will slowly
subside through Fri. Otherwise, disorganized showers and
thunderstorms over portions of the Gulf of Mexico are associated
with a surface trough. A broad area of low pressure is likely to
develop over the Gulf of Mexico this weekend or early next week,
but subsequent tropical or subtropical development could be
limited if the system potentially interacts with a frontal
boundary. Regardless of development, scattered to numerous
showers and thunderstorms are expected over most of the basin
this weekend. Fresh to strong winds are expected to begin to
materialize over the NE and north central Gulf late Sat, then
spread to the north-central and western Gulf sections early next
week. These winds are expected to reach near gale speeds over
some sections of the central and NE Gulf Tue and Tue night, with
some potential of gale force speeds. Expect building seas with
these winds. Mariners are urged to check the latest forecasts
for updated information on winds and seas especially from late
Sun into early next week.
