SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
340 AM EDT THU MAY 8 2025
SYNOPSIS
LOW PRESSURE 1014 MB IS CENTERED NEAR DAUPHIN ISLANDS,
ALABAMA WITH A STATIONARY FRONT FROM THE LOW TO JUST SE OF
LOUISIANA TO OFFSHORE BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS, CONTINUING AS A TROUGH
SOUTHWARD OFF TAMAULIPAS. THESE FEATURES CONTINUE TO SUPPORT
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS. THE FRONT AND
LOW WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGH TODAY, THEN BEGIN TO
MOVE SE ACROSS THE GULF WATERS BY FRI MORNING, REACHING FROM SE
LOUISIANA TO NEAR TAMPICO, MEXICO. THEN, THE COLD FRONT WILL
EXTEND FROM THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE TO NEAR VERACRUZ, MEXICO
BY SAT MORNING, AND FROM THE FLORIDA BIG BEND TO THE YUCATAN
PENINSULA ON SUN MORNING. FRESH TO STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS AND
MODERATE TO ROUGH SEAS WILL FOLLOW THE FRONT THROUGH SAT. SMOKE
FROM AGRICULTURAL FIRES IN SOUTHEASTERN MEXICO IS CREATING HAZY
CONDITIONS IN SOME SECTIONS OF THE W AND SE GULF.
