SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
422 PM EDT FRI MAR 21 2025
SYNOPSIS
HIGH PRESSURE IS BUILDING OVER THE NORTHERN GULF,
FOLLOWING A COLD FRONT THAT MOVED SOUTHEAST OF THE BASIN
LAST NIGHT. WINDS ARE DIMINISHING OVER THE EASTERN GULF AS A
RESULT, BUT ROUGH SEAS MAY PERSIST INTO THIS EVENING. BY LATE
TONIGHT, THIS PATTERN WILL SUPPORT WILL SUPPORT MODERATE TO
LOCALLY FRESH S TO SE WINDS OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL GULF, AND
GENTLE TO MODERATE WINDS IN THE EASTERN BASIN INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK. A SURFACE TROUGH WILL DEVELOP OVER THE YUCATAN PENINSULA AND
MOVE INTO THE BAY OF CAMPECHE NIGHTLY THROUGH SUN, SUPPORTING
PULSES OF FRESH TO STRONG WINDS OVER ADJACENT WATERS. LOOKING
AHEAD, THE NEXT COLD FRONT MAY ENTER THE NORTHWESTERN BASIN MON,
BUT WILL LIKELY DISSIPATE AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE CENTRAL GULF BY
TUE.
