SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
1005 PM EDT MON MAR 24 2025
SYNOPSIS
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE CENTRAL
GULF, AND ALSO OVER THE NE GULF ARE PRODUCING FREQUENT LIGHTNING.
ELSEWHERE, HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE BASIN WILL GENERALLY SUPPORT
LIGHT TO GENTLE SE TO S WINDS OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL GULF,
AND GENTLE TO MODERATE WINDS OVER THE EASTERN PART OF THE BASIN
INTO WED. 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.
