Synopsis for the Gulf of America
931 PM EDT Fri Apr 4 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A strong pressure gradient between the Bermuda High
and low pressure over south-central U.S. will continue forcing
fresh to near-gale SE winds across the basin through Sat
afternoon. The moist SE flow may allow areas of sea fog to
persist across the northern Gulf into Sat. A strong late-season
cold front will emerge off of the Texas coast Sat night. Fresh
to near gale N winds and rapidly building seas will follow the
front over the western Gulf Sun and Mon, with northerly gales
forecast near Tampico on Sun morning, and off Veracruz Sun
afternoon. The cold front will extend from the Florida panhandle
to the eastern Bay of Campeche Mon followed by fresh to strong N
winds. The front will weaken as it moves southeast of the area Tue
followed by weak high pressure over the northern Gulf. Winds and
seas will diminish accordingly through Tue night in all but the
far southeast Gulf where fresh winds and rough seas may persist.
