SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
1109 AM EDT SAT MAY 3 2025
SYNOPSIS
A RIDGE OVER THE NE GULF WILL SIFT EAST OF THE BASIN
BY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON IN RESPONSE TO A COLD FRONT THAT IS
CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH THE WESTERN GULF. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF THE FRONT ARE FURTHER AIDED BY A PRE-
FRONTAL TROUGH THAT EXTENDS FROM THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE
TO 28N90W AND TO 27N95W, AND BY ANOTHER TROUGH THAT EXTENDS FROM
OFFSHORE SOUTH TEXAS TO NE MEXICO. OTHERWISE, MODERATE TO FRESH
EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS ARE SOUTH OF 26N, AND GENTLE TO MODERATE
WINDS ELSEWHERE. EAST WINDS WILL PULSE TO FRESH TO STRONG SPEEDS
NORTH OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA AND OVER THE BAY OF CAMPECHE AT
NIGHT THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK IN ASSOCIATION WITH A DIURNAL
TROUGH, WHILE MAINLY MODERATE TO LOCALLY FRESH E TO SE WINDS AND
MODERATE SEAS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE STRAITS OF FLORIDA THROUGH
WED. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE NORTHERN GULF TODAY AND
TONIGHT AND TO EAST OF THE BASIN ON MON. 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, EXCEPT GENTLE TO MODERATE IN THE NE GULF, INCREASING TO
FRESH TO STRONG OVER THE WESTERN GULF BY EARLY TUE AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT TIGHTENS. ANOTHER WEAK FRONT MAY REACH THE NW GULF BY
EARLY THU.
