Synopsis for the Gulf of America
339 AM EDT Sat May 3 2025
.SYNOPSIS...A ridge will continue to dominate the Gulf waters
through this morning ahead of a cold front along the Texas coast,
supporting moderate to fresh winds south of 26N, and gentle to
moderate winds elsewhere. East winds will pulse to fresh to
strong speeds north of the Yucatan peninsula and over the Bay of
Campeche at night through early next week in association with a
diurnal trough, while mainly moderate to locally fresh E to SE
winds and moderate seas are expected across the Straits of Florida
through Wed. The cold front will move through the northern Gulf
today and tonight, shifting east of the basin on Mon. High
pressure will then build southward across the Gulf leading to
mostly moderate to fresh easterly winds over most of the forecast
zones early next week, except gentle to moderate in the NE Gulf,
increasing to fresh to strong over the western Gulf by early Tue
as the pressure gradient tightens. Another weak front may reach
the NW Gulf by early Thu.
