Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1026 AM EDT Thu May 15 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong S to SE winds will pulse over the

pressure gradient prevails between high pressure over the eastern
basin and low pressure in the central United States. Through this
weekend, moderate to fresh SE winds and generally moderate seas
are expected west of 90W, with gentle to moderate SE to SW winds
and slight seas expected east of 90W. Pulsing fresh to locally
strong E winds are likely each afternoon and evening north of the
Yucatan Peninsula as a trough develops daily and drifts westward.
