SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
1045 PM EDT FRI MAY 9 2025
SYNOPSIS
A COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM A 1008 MB LOW PRES NEAR
29N90W TO THE SOUTHERN COAST OF THE BAY OF CAMPECHE NEAR 18N95W.
STRONG STORMS ARE AFFECTING THE NE GULF WATERS, PRODUCING GUSTY
WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING. FRESH TO STRONG N WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO AFFECT MUCH OF THE WESTERN GULF THROUGH EARLY SAT.
HOWEVER, THE MOST PERSISTENT STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE OFF
VERACRUZ INTO SAT AFTERNOON. LOCALLY ROUGH SEAS MAY ACCOMPANY
THESE WINDS, ESPECIALLY NEAR TAMPICO AND VERACRUZ. WINDS WILL
DIMINISH BY EARLY SUN. FARTHER EAST, LOW PRESSURE LOOKS TO
STRENGTHEN IN THE EASTERN GULF ON SAT, PRODUCING FRESH TO STRONG
WINDS SURROUNDING THE LOW AS IT MOVES NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE
BASIN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
