GMZ001-041945- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 333 AM EDT Fri Oct 4 2024 .SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong winds will pulse offshore Veracruz Mexico through at least Sat. Disorganized showers and thunderstorms located over the western Gulf of Mexico are associated with a trough of low pres. A broad area of low pres is expected to form over the SW or south-central Gulf of Mexico this weekend, and thereafter some gradual development is possible while the low moves slowly eastward or northeastward. A tropical or subtropical depression or storm could form during the early to middle part of next week if the low remains separate from a frontal boundary that is forecast to extend across the Gulf of Mexico next week. Regardless of tropical or subtropical development, increasing winds and building seas are forecast including behind the frontal boundary with thunderstorms increasing in activity and potentially impacting most of the basin. $$ GMZ040-041945- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 333 AM EDT Fri Oct 4 2024 .TODAY...SE winds 10 kt.
