SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
1059 AM EDT FRI MAR 28 2025
SYNOPSIS
A 1031 MB HIGH IS CENTERED JUST OFF THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST THIS MORNING AND EXTENDS A RIDGE WESTWARD ACROSS THE
NORTHERN GULF REGION. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT IS TIGHT ENOUGH TO
SUPPORT FRESH TO STRONG E TO SE WINDS AND MODERATE TO ROUGH SEAS
ACROSS MOST OF THE BASIN. THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL DRIFT SLOWLY
EASTWARD ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLANTIC THROUGH THE WEEKEND, ALLOWING
WINDS TO DIMINISH TO MODERATE TO FRESH SPEEDS. SEAS WILL SUBSIDE
BELOW 8 FT BY EARLY SUN. FRESH TO OCCASIONALLY STRONG WINDS ARE
EXPECTED NEAR AND TO THE NW OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA DURING THE
EVENING HOURS DUE TO LOCAL EFFECTS. A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO
ENTER THE NW GULF BY MON, AND EXTEND FROM THE FLORIDA BIG BEND TO
NE MEXICO BY MON NIGHT.
