Synopsis for the Gulf of America 354 AM EDT Tue Mar 25 2025

SYNOPSIS
High pressure across the basin will generally support light to gentle SE to S winds over the western and central Gulf, and gentle to moderate winds over the eastern part of the basin into Wed. A surface trough will develop over the Yucatan Peninsula and move into the Bay of Campeche nightly through early this week, supporting pulses of fresh to locally strong winds over adjacent waters. A cold front will skirt the NE Gulf early today. High pressure building into the basin in its wake will lead to moderate to fresh southeast winds and building seas across the NW Gulf by Thu.
