Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
955 AM EST Tue Jan 7 2025
.SYNOPSIS...Strong N to NW winds will prevail today across the
Bay of Campeche in the wake of a cold front that currently extends
across the Yucatan Channel to southwestern Florida. High pressure
will build in the wake of the front producing moderate to fresh N
to NE winds across the remainder of the basin. A trough will
develop over the western Gulf on Wed, tightening the pressure
gradient and supporting fresh to strong winds on either side of
the trough axis. A low may develop along the trough axis over the
NW Gulf by Thu, bringing increasing winds and seas.
