SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
1119 PM EDT THU AUG 14 2025
SYNOPSIS
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS SHOWING SOME
SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION WITH A SMALL AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED
OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN GULF. AN EARLIER AIR FORCE RECONNAISSANCE
MISSION FOUND THAT THE SYSTEM LACKS A WELL-DEFINED LOW-LEVEL
CIRCULATION. THE LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE WEST-NORTHWESTWARD TO
NORTHWESTWARD ACROSS THE WESTERN GULF DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO,
AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS APPEAR GENERALLY FAVORABLE FOR
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. A TROPICAL DEPRESSION COULD FORM BEFORE THIS
SYSTEM MOVES INLAND OVER NORTHEASTERN MEXICO OR SOUTHERN TEXAS BY
LATE FRIDAY. REGARDLESS OF DEVELOPMENT, LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS
POSSIBLE ALONG PORTIONS OF NORTHEASTERN MEXICO AND SOUTHERN TEXAS
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THERE IS A MEDIUM CHANCE OF TROPICAL
FORMATION OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS. OTHERWISE, GENTLE WINDS AND
SLIGHT SEAS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE BASIN AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE
DOMINATES.
