SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
420 PM EDT FRI MAR 28 2025
SYNOPSIS
A 1031 MB HIGH IS CENTERED BETWEEN CAPE HATTERAS AND
BERMUDA THIS AFTERNOON 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. UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE TEXAS
COAST IS TRIGGERING A SQUALL LINE ACROSS THE NW GULF THIS
AFTERNOON BETWEEN 92W AND 95W, AND WILL SHIFT E AND WEAKEN
TONIGHT. THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL DRIFT SLOWLY EASTWARD
ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLANTIC THROUGH THE WEEKEND, ALLOWING WINDS TO
DIMINISH TO MODERATE TO FRESH SPEEDS BY SAT AFTERNOON, WITH SEAS
THEN SUBSIDING BELOW 8 FT BY LATE SAT. A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST
TO ENTER THE NW GULF ON MON, AND EXTEND FROM THE FLORIDA BIG BEND
TO NE MEXICO BY TUE MORNING BEFORE DISSIPATING.
