SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF MEXICO
318 PM EST SUN JAN 26 2025
SYNOPSIS
THE COMBINATION BETWEEN LOW PRESSURE LOCATED OVER
NORTHEAST TEXAS WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN AND CENTRAL
GULF IS PRESENTLY ALLOWING FOR FRESH SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH WINDS TO
EXIST OVER THE NW GULF. GENTLE TO MODERATE EAST TO SOUTHEAST
WINDS ARE OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE GULF, EXCEPT FOR FRESH
NORTHEAST WINDS OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN GULF AND STRAITS OF FLORIDA.
THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT EASTWARD TONIGHT AS A WEAK
COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE NW GULF LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY MON. IT
WILL STALL AND DISSIPATE OVER THE NW GULF COASTAL WATERS THROUGH
MON NIGHT. MOSTLY GENTLE TO MODERATE WINDS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE
BASIN THROUGH TUE BEFORE INCREASING TO MODERATE TO FRESH SPEEDS AT
MID-WEEK AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS, THEN INCREASING
FURTHER TO FRESH TO LOCALLY STRONG SPEEDS BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
SLIGHT TO MODERATE SEAS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE BASIN INTO
MIDWEEK, THEREAFTER, SEAS WILL BUILD OVER THE WESTERN GULF UNDER
INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW. WINDS ARE FORECAST TO DIMINISH ON FRI
AS A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE WESTERN GULF.
