SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
207 PM EDT MON MAR 24 2025
SYNOPSIS
NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE CENTRAL GULF ARE
LOCATED FROM 26N TO 29N BETWEEN 86W AND 91W AND ARE PRODUCING
FREQUENT LIGHTNING. THIS ACTIVITY IS SHIFTING EASTWARD, AND IS BEING
AIDED BY AN UPPER SHORTWAVE TROUGH. OTHERWISE, HIGH PRESSURE WILL
PREVAIL OVER THE GULF, SUPPORTING MODERATE TO LOCALLY FRESH
S TO SE WINDS OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL GULF, AND GENTLE TO
MODERATE WINDS IN THE EASTERN BASIN INTO MID-WEEK. A SURFACE
TROUGH WILL DEVELOP OVER THE YUCATAN PENINSULA AND MOVE INTO
THE BAY OF CAMPECHE NIGHTLY THROUGH EARLY THIS WEEK, SUPPORTING
PULSES OF FRESH TO LOCALLY STRONG WINDS OVER ADJACENT WATERS. THE
NEXT COLD FRONT WILL SKIRT THE NE GULF WITH LITTLE IMPACT TONIGHT
INTO TUE. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE BASIN IN ITS WAKE WILL
LEAD TO MODERATE TO FRESH SOUTHEAST WINDS AND BUILDING SEAS ACROSS
THE NW GULF BY THU.
