GMZ001-080815- Synopsis for the Gulf of America 412 PM EDT Tue Oct 7 2025 .SYNOPSIS...High pressure across the eastern U.S. will build modestly across the Gulf basin throughout the week. Moderate E to SE winds and slight to moderate seas will become moderate to locally fresh NE to E through the remainder of the week. A trough of low pressure located over the Yucatan Peninsula is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. This system is expected to emerge over the Bay of Campeche later today, and some slow development is possible before it moves inland over southern Mexico late Wednesday or early Thursday. Regardless of development, showers and thunderstorms and strong gusty winds are likely across waters north of the Yucatan Peninsula and across the southwestern Gulf through Wed night. A cold front is expected to sink southward across the northern Gulf Thu night through Fri. $$ GMZ040-080815- NW Gulf of America including Stetson Bank- 412 PM EDT Tue Oct 7 2025 .TONIGHT...E winds 10 to 15 kt.
