Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1012 PM EDT Sun Aug 24 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front will linger along the northern
Gulf likely through midweek while a surface trough stretches from
the NE to the SW Gulf with both supporting numerous showers and
thunderstorms across much of the basin. A weak low may develop
along the frontal boundary by late Tue into Wed. A weak ridge will
continue to dominate the remainder of the Gulf region supporting
gentle to moderate winds and slight seas. Moderate to fresh NE to
E winds will develop over the south-central Gulf each afternoon
through the week as a trough develops over the Yucatan Peninsula
and moves westward at night. Slight to moderate seas are expected
with these winds.
