Synopsis for the Gulf of America
323 PM EST Fri Feb 21 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Near gale force winds off Veracruz will diminish to
fresh speeds Sat afternoon. A trough over the west-central and SW
Gulf will remain nearly stationary through Sat night. Low pressure
will form from the trough on Sat near the Lower Texas coast, track
NE through early Sun night, then quickly E to SE toward southern
Florida on Mon. A cold front will trail from the low as it moves
across the basin. Fresh to strong winds are expected around the
low pressure while moderate to fresh winds are expected behind the
boundary. This system is expected to also be attendant by adverse
to hazardous marine conditions. Weak high pressure will settle
over the central Gulf Tue through Wed night in its wake
providing for rather tranquil marine conditions across the basin.
