SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
317 PM EDT THU MAY 8 2025
SYNOPSIS
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY LOCATED OVER THE NORTHERN GULF
WILL CONTINUE TO DISSIPATE TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY
REACHING THE NW GULF. THIS SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO MOVE ACROSS THE
WESTERN GULF ON FRI, WITH A LOW DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT NEAR
SE LOUISIANA. THE LOW WILL MEANDER OVER THE NE GULF THROUGH SUN
WHILE THE FRONT WILL MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE
BASIN. BY MON, THE LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTHWARD AND THE
FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE EASTERN GULF. A BAND OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM COULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT. FRESH
TO STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS AND MODERATE TO ROUGH SEAS ARE EXPECTED
IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT THROUGH SAT NIGHT. SMOKE FROM AGRICULTURAL
FIRES IN SOUTHEASTERN MEXICO IS CREATING HAZY CONDITIONS IN PARTS
OF THE GULF REGION.
