PORT ALERT STATUS: 4/SEASONAL –   1035 AM EDT Fri Jun 21 2024

1. Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (AL92):  Updated:  Recent data from an Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft and visible satellite imagery indicate that the area of low pressure located about 120 miles east of Jacksonville, Florida,
has developed a well-defined center of circulation and is producing winds to near 35 mph, but the associated showers and thunderstorms are not quite organized enough for this system to be considered a tropical cyclone.  However, only a small increase in the organization of the showers and thunderstorms could result in the formation of a short-lived tropical depression before it reaches the coast of northeastern Florida or Georgia tonight, and interests there should monitor its progress.  For more information, refer to High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service, as well as local forecasts issued by your local National Weather Service Forecast Office.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.


2. Southwestern Gulf of Mexico:  A broad area of low pressure is forecast to form over southeastern Mexico later today.  Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development after this system moves over the Bay of Campeche
tonight, and a tropical depression could form over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico this weekend while it moves slowly west-northwestward or northwestward. Interests along the Gulf coast of Mexico should monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.
