SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
931 PM EDT FRI MAY 2 2025
SYNOPSIS
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE THE MAIN FEATURE CONTROLLING
THE WEATHER PATTERN ACROSS THE GULF THROUGH LATE FRI. ITS
ASSOCIATED PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL MAINTAIN MODERATE TO FRESH
EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS OVER THE BASIN THROUGH SAT MORNING. EAST
WINDS WILL PULSE TO STRONG SPEEDS NORTH OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA
AND OVER THE BAY OF CAMPECHE NIGHTLY THROUGH FRI IN ASSOCIATION
WITH A DIURNAL TROUGH. MODERATE TO FRESH E WINDS AND MODERATE
SEAS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE STRAITS OF FLORIDA THROUGH FRI

THE ZONES. LOOKING AHEAD, A WEAK COLD FRONT MAY REACH THE NORTHERN
GULF ON SAT BEFORE SHIFTING EAST OF THE BASIN BY SUN NIGHT. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE GULF LEADING TO
MOSTLY MODERATE TO FRESH EASTERLY WINDS OVER MOST OF THE FORECAST
ZONES EARLY NEXT WEEK, INCREASING TO FRESH TO STRONG OVER THE
WESTERN GULF BY EARLY TUE AS THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS.
