Synopsis for the Gulf of America
510 AM EDT Fri Mar 28 2025

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the western Atlantic has a ridge
extending across Florida into the Gulf region. The pressure
gradient is tight enough to support fresh to strong SE to S winds
and moderate to rough seas. As the high pressure moves eastward 
across the Atlantic, winds will diminish to moderate to fresh 
speeds during the upcoming weekend. Seas will subside below 8 ft 
by Sat night. Fresh to occasionally strong winds are expected near
and to the NW of the Yucatan Peninsula during the evening hours
due to local effects. A cold front is forecast to enter the NW 
Gulf by Mon, and extend from the Florida Big Bend to NE Mexico by 
Mon night.
