SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
320 PM EDT SUN APR 20 2025
SYNOPSIS
A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE
CENTERED OFFSHORE THE SE UNITED STATES AND A TROUGH OVER THE SW
AND W GULF WILL SUPPORT FRESH TO STRONG SE WINDS OVER MUCH OF THE
GULF EARLY THIS WEEK, ALONG WITH MODERATE TO ROUGH SEAS.
CONDITIONS WILL START TO IMPROVE ACROSS MUCH OF THE GULF TUE AS
THE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVES FURTHER FROM THE AREA AND THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT LOOSENS. ONE EXCEPTION IS OFF THE NW YUCATAN
PENINSULA WHERE PULSES OF STRONG WINDS ARE EXPECTED AS A DIURNAL
TROUGH MOVES INTO THE WATERS.
