Synopsis for the Gulf of America
427 PM EDT Sat Apr 26 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A surface ridge will continue to dominate the Gulf
waters this weekend and into early next week supporting gentle
to moderate E to SE winds and moderate seas. Winds will pulse to
fresh to strong speeds each evening over the east and central
Bay of Campeche through Tue night due to local effects related
to a thermal trough coming off the Yucatan Peninsula. Winds of
moderate to fresh speeds and moderate seas are forecast in the
Straits of Florida through the period due to persistent high
pressure NE of the area. By Monday night, SE winds may increase
a bit in the central and northwest Gulf and persist into mid-week.
