Synopsis for the Gulf of America
440 AM EDT Tue Jul 22 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Relatively weak high pressure will prevail across
the basin through Wed night maintaining gentle to moderate winds
along with slight to moderate seas. Fresh to locally strong
northeast to east winds will pulse along the Yucatan Peninsula
each afternoon and evening for the next few days as a trough
develops inland daily and shifts westward over the Bay of Campeche
at night. Looking ahead, winds may increase to fresh speeds
across the NE Gulf on Thu and Thu night and across the north-
central part of the basin on Fri as a broad and weak area of low
pressure moves in a general westward motion across the northern
Gulf. This system will bring increasing shower and thunderstorm
activity over most of the eastern and north- central Gulf waters
starting Tue.
