Synopsis for the Gulf of America
349 PM EDT Thu May 22 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front over the northeast Gulf will dissipate
tonight. High pressure will develop across the northeast Gulf in
the wake of this front and dominate the basin through Sun, before
Atlantic high pressure builds into the Gulf Sun night and Mon and
strengthens the ridge. Gentle to moderate winds will freshen in
the western Gulf starting Fri night. E winds will pulse fresh to
locally strong along and just north of the Yucatan Peninsula each
afternoon and evening through the period as a trough develops
daily and drifts westward at night. Smoke from agricultural fires
in southeastern Mexico are expected to maintain hazy sky
conditions across the Bay of Campeche and western Gulf through the
period.
