Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
331 AM EST Fri Jan 31 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to locally fresh S to SE winds will occur
across the central and eastern Gulf this morning as the pressure
gradient strengthens between a cold front moving through the NW
Gulf and building high pressure over the western Atlantic. Winds
may pulse to strong speeds in the central Gulf. Winds will turn to
the NW to NE behind the aforementioned cold front, with fresh to
locally strong winds possible today as the front moves
southeastward. Winds will briefly reach gale force in the
southwestern Gulf offshore of Veracruz this evening, with strong
winds occurring through early Sat. Locally very rough seas will
accompany these winds. The front will stall then dissipate this
weekend, and ridging will build over the basin, supporting gentle
to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas across the Gulf this
weekend into early next week.
