Synopsis for the Gulf of America
512 AM EDT Wed Oct 8 2025

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure across the western Atlantic will
maintain a modest ridge southwestward across the northern Gulf
through Thu. A cold front will sink southward across the northern
Gulf Thu night through Sat and produce fresh to strong NE winds
across northeastern portions of the basin. A trough of low
pressure located along the western Yucatan Peninsula is producing
a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms across
southwest portions of the Gulf. This system is expected to move
westward, 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 the southwestern Gulf through Thu.
