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.
