GMZ001-112100- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 458 AM EDT Sat Sep 11 2021 .SYNOPSIS...Disorganized showers and thunderstorms over portions of Central America and the adjacent waters of the northwestern Caribbean Sea and southern Gulf of Mexico are associated with a tropical wave interacting with an upper-level trough. Upper-level winds over the western Gulf of Mexico are expected to become more conducive for development over the weekend, and a tropical depression is likely to form on Sunday or Monday while the system moves northwestward and then northward near the coast of northeastern Mexico. Further development of this system will be possible through the middle of next week if it remains over water, and interests along the western and northwestern Gulf coast should monitor the progress of this system. Regardless of development, this disturbance is expected to produce heavy rain across portions western Gulf coast, including coastal Texas and Louisiana through the middle of next week. Expect an increase in winds and seas along these regions with this system. Meanwhile, a frontal boundary over the northern Gulf will prevail through Sun supporting showers and thunderstorms across the region. $$ GMZ011-112100- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 458 AM EDT Sat Sep 11 2021 .TODAY...E winds 10 to 15 kt.
