SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
1047 PM EDT THU MAY 8 2025
SYNOPSIS
FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHING THE NW GULF WATERS
PRODUCES SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE
NORTHERN GULF WATERS. THE FRONT WILL BEGIN TO MOVE ACROSS THE
WESTERN GULF 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.
