Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1109 AM EDT Sat May 3 2025
.SYNOPSIS...A ridge over the NE Gulf will shift east of
the basin by early this afternoon in response to a cold front
that is currently moving through the western Gulf. Scattered
showers and thunderstorms ahead of the front are further aided
by a pre-frontal trough that extends from the western Florida
panhandle to 28N90W and to 27N95W, and by another trough that
extends from offshore South Texas to NE Mexico. Otherwise,
moderate to fresh east to southeast winds are 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 and to 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.
