Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1031 AM EDT Thu Jul 17 2025

.SYNOPSIS...An area of broad low pressure, AL93, is centered over
the northern Gulf just south of the coast of Mississippi. Some
development could occur before the system moves westward into
Louisiana later today or tonight, although the chances of the
system developing into a tropical depression are low. Regardless
of development, heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected over
the north-central Gulf through Fri, with erratic gusty winds and
rough seas possible near convection. Elsewhere, moderate to
locally fresh E to NE winds will occur north of the Yucatan
Peninsula and into the eastern Bay of Campeche each afternoon and
evening into next week. Otherwise, high pressure building over the
northeastern Gulf this weekend will support gentle to moderate
winds and seas across the rest of the basin.
