Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1035 PM EDT Wed Jul 23 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A broad low pressure near northern Florida is
producing showers and thunderstorms. Over the next day or two,
this system is forecast to move west-southwestward into the north-
central portion of the Gulf where some slow development is
possible. By this weekend, the system is likely to move inland,
ending its chances for development. Regardless of development,
scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected in
association with this system across most of the NE and north-
central Gulf. 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.
