SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
939 PM EDT MON MAY 5 2025
SYNOPSIS
A WEAK BOUNDARY ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES WILL WASH
OUT TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SE UNITED STATES WILL SUPPORT
MODERATE TO FRESH RETURN FLOW, PULSING TO STRONG AT TIMES, OVER
THE WESTERN ZONES, AND MAINLY GENTLE TO MODERATE WINDS OVER THE
EASTERN ZONES THROUGH MID-WEEK. WINDS WILL WEAKEN ACROSS THE BASIN
THU AS THE NEXT FRONT APPROACHES. THAT FRONT MAY REACH ACROSS THE
WESTERN ZONES THU NIGHT, STRETCHING FROM THE WESTERN FLORIDA
PANHANDLE TO VERACRUZ, MEXICO BY EARLY FRI, THEN SLOWING FROM THE
CENTRAL FLORIDA PANHANDLE TO THE EASTERN BAY OF CAMPECHE BY EARLY
SAT. SMOKE FROM AGRICULTURAL FIRES IN SOUTHEASTERN MEXICO IS
CREATING HAZY CONDITIONS IN SOME SECTIONS OF THE WESTERN GULF,
WITH THE LOWEST REPORTED VISIBILITY NEAR THE SW GULF COAST.
