GMZ001-071945- Synopsis for the Gulf of America 343 AM EDT Wed May 7 2025 .SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between high pressure over the SE United States and low pressure over Mexico will support fresh to locally strong winds over the W half of the basin. Gentle to moderate winds will prevail elsewhere. Winds will weaken across the basin Thu as the next front approaches, currently stalled just inland over SE Texas. The front will reach across the western zones Thu night, from SE Louisiana to Veracruz, Mexico by early Fri, from the western Florida Panhandle to the eastern Bay of Campeche by early Sat, then from the Florida Big Bend to the Yucatan Peninsula early Sun. Smoke from agricultural fires in southeastern Mexico is creating hazy conditions in some sections of the western Gulf, with the lowest reported visibility near the SW Gulf coast. $$ GMZ040-071945- NW Gulf of America including Stetson Bank- 343 AM EDT Wed May 7 2025 .TODAY...E to SE winds 10 to 15 kt.
