GMZ001-250230- Synopsis for the Gulf of America 207 PM EDT Mon Mar 24 2025 .SYNOPSIS...Numerous thunderstorms over the central Gulf are located from 26N to 29N between 86W and 91W and are producing frequent lightning. This activity is shifting eastward, and is being aided by an upper shortwave trough. Otherwise, high pressure will prevail over the Gulf, supporting moderate to locally fresh S to SE winds over the western and central Gulf, and gentle to moderate winds in the eastern basin into mid-week. A surface trough will develop over the Yucatan Peninsula and move into the Bay of Campeche nightly through early this week, supporting pulses of fresh to locally strong winds over adjacent waters. The next cold front will skirt the NE Gulf with little impact tonight into Tue. High pressure building into the basin in its wake will lead to moderate to fresh southeast winds and building seas across the NW Gulf by Thu. $$ GMZ040-250230- NW Gulf of America including Stetson Bank- 207 PM EDT Mon Mar 24 2025 .REST OF THIS AFTERNOON...S of 27N, SE winds 10 kt.
