Synopsis for the Gulf of America
510 PM EDT Tue Jul 15 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure across the north-central Gulf
extends a narrow ridge southeastward to the Yucatan Channel. The
high pressure will drift slowly W-NW and settle across the NW
Gulf through Thu. A weak 1013 mb low pressure, Invest AL93, is
just offshore of northeast Florida near Saint Augustine. It is
forecast to move inland northern Florida tonight and reach the NE
Gulf on Wed, at which time environmental conditions appear
generally favorable for additional development, and a tropical
depression could form while the system moves across the NE and
north-central Gulf and approaches the coast of Louisiana on Thu.
Regardless, scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, some
with strong gusty winds along with locally rough seas, will
accompany this system.
