Synopsis for the Gulf of America
417 AM EDT Fri Jul 25 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A broad area of low pressure over the north-central Gulf is
currently producing an area of disorganized showers and
thunderstorms. Over the next day or so, slow development of this
system is possible while it moves generally west-northwestward
across the northern Gulf. By this weekend, the system is likely to
move inland over southeastern Texas or western Louisiana, ending its
chances for development. Elsewhere, moderate to fresh northeast
to east winds are forecast along the Yucatan Peninsula each
afternoon and evening as a trough develops inland daily and shifts
westward over the Bay of Campeche at night.
