Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1031 AM EDT Fri Apr 4 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A strong pressure gradient between the Bermuda High
and low pressure over south-central U.S. will continue forcing
fresh to near gale SE winds across the basin through Sat
afternoon. The moist SE flow may allow areas of sea fog to persist
across the northern Gulf into Sat. A strong late-season cold
front will emerge off of the Texas coast Sat night. Fresh to near
gale N winds and rapidly building seas will follow the front over
the western Gulf Sun and Mon with northerly gales possible near
Tampico on Sun morning, and off Veracruz by late Sun afternoon.
The cold front will extend from the Florida panhandle to the
eastern Bay of Campeche Mon followed by fresh to strong N winds.
The front will weaken as it moves southeast of the area Tue
followed by weak high pressure over the northern Gulf. Winds and
seas will diminish accordingly through Tue night in all but the
far southeast Gulf where fresh winds and rough seas may persist.
