Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1032 PM EDT Sat Jul 12 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure prevails across the NE Gulf
tonight, producing gentle to moderate E to SE winds across much of
the rest of the basin. The high will drift slowly westward and
into the NW Gulf through Wed. This will allow a broad area of low
pressure expected to form across the Atlantic east of Florida, to
shift westward across Florida and into the eastern Gulf on Tue,
then continue to drift westward into the central Gulf through
Thu, accompanied by active weather. Environmental conditions could
become marginally conducive for the gradual development of this
system by mid to late next week.
