SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
403 PM EDT TUE MAR 25 2025
SYNOPSIS
HIGH PRESSURE OVER 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 THE PERIOD,
ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE RATHER WEAK AFTER FRI. IT WILL SUPPORT PULSES
OF FRESH TO LOCALLY STRONG WINDS OVER ADJACENT WATERS THROUGH
FRI. A WEAK COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM CENTRAL FLORIDA TO NEAR
29N87W WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AS IT MOVES SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE
REST OF THE EASTERN GULF TONIGHT. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING
INTO THE BASIN IN ITS WAKE WILL LEAD TO MODERATE TO FRESH
SOUTHEAST WINDS ACROSS THE NW GULF BY THU. THESE WINDS INCREASE
TO FRESH TO STRONG THU NIGHT INTO FRI WHILE EXPANDING IN COVERAGE
JUST ABOUT ACROSS THE ENTIRE BASIN, THEN BEGIN TO DIMINISH FRI
NIGHT. SEAS GENERATED BY THESE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO POSSIBLY
BUILD TO AROUND 11 FT IN THE NW GULF FRI AND FRI NIGHT. YET
ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT MAY MOVE INTO EASTERN TEXAS LATE SUN
NIGHT INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
