Synopsis for the Gulf of America
447 AM EDT Thu Oct 9 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Disorganized showers and thunderstorms continue
across the SW Gulf associated with a low level trough along
the Mexican Gulf coast between Tampico and Veracruz. Winds and
seas across these Mexican coastal waters will slowly subside this
morning as the trough shifts westward and further inland.
Elsewhere, a building high pressure ridge north of the Gulf will
promote moderate to locally fresh NE to E winds across the basin
today through Sat, with fresh to strong NE winds over the NE Gulf
waters. Looking ahead, winds and seas across the entire Gulf
should be quiescent from Sun through early next week.
