853 PM EDT Sat Aug 23 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A weak pressure pattern will continue over the Gulf
region through the period, maintaining mostly tranquil marine
conditions. Numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms will
remain active across the Gulf N of 22N through the weekend as an
old front meanders along the north Gulf coastal waters and slowly
dissipates. Moderate to fresh NE to E winds will develop over the
south-central Gulf each afternoon through at least the middle of
next week as a trough develops over the Yucatan Peninsula and
moves westward at night.
