GMZ001-082045- Synopsis for the Gulf of America 342 AM EST Sat Mar 8 2025 .SYNOPSIS...Moderate S to SE winds will occur across the Gulf of America today, with fresh winds expected south of 25N and west of 85W, as a tight pressure gradient prevails between high pressure east of the Bahamas and strengthening low pressure in the central United States. A cold front is slated to enter the northwestern basin tonight, and fresh to strong N to NW winds and rough seas are expected in the wake of the front as it moves southeastward Sun into Mon. Gale force NW winds will occur behind the front offshore of Veracruz on Sun, and locally very rough seas will be possible near the strongest winds. Winds will diminish from west to east Mon through Mon night. Looking ahead, high pressure will rebuild across the basin early next week. $$ GMZ040-082045- NW Gulf of America including Stetson Bank- 342 AM EST Sat Mar 8 2025 .TODAY...S to SW winds 10 to 15 kt.
