GMZ001-080845- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 438 PM EDT Tue Sep 7 2021 .SYNOPSIS...Showers and thunderstorms have increased today over the south-central Gulf of Mexico in association with a surface trough and an upper-level disturbance. The system is expected to move slowly northeastward over the central and northeastern Gulf of Mexico during the next couple of days. Upper-level winds are currently unfavorable for development, but they are forecast to become more conducive for some limited tropical or subtropical cyclone development as the system nears the northern Gulf coast on Wednesday and Wednesday night. Aside from this low pressure, high pressure will continue to bring light to gentle winds and slight seas through Fri. Winds and seas could be higher near thunderstorms. $$ GMZ011-080845- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 438 PM EDT Tue Sep 7 2021 .TONIGHT...NE winds 10 kt in the evening, becoming variable less than 5 kt.
