Synopsis for the Gulf of America

332 PM EST Sun Feb 23 2025



.SYNOPSIS...A 1017 mb low pressure is centered offshore SW 

Louisiana near 28.5N92W with a cold front extending from the low 

to the central Bay of Campeche. The low will track eastward 

through early tonight, then move more quickly E-SE across south- 

central Florida Mon night, with the trailing cold front moving 

into the NW Caribbean Mon evening. Fresh to strong winds are 

expected around the low pressure through Mon, while moderate to 

fresh NW winds are expected behind the front. Weak high pressure 

will settle over the north-central waters Tue through Wed night 

leading to tranquil marine conditions across the basin. Another 

cold front will enter the NW Gulf Thu morning and sweep across the

basin through Fri.
