Synopsis for the Gulf of America
348 PM EDT Sat Mar 22 2025

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will prevail over the Gulf, supporting
moderate to locally fresh S to SE winds over the western and
central Gulf, and gentle to moderate winds in the eastern basin
into early next week. A surface trough will develop over the
Yucatan Peninsula and move into the Bay of Campeche nightly
through Sun, supporting pulses of fresh to strong winds over
adjacent waters. The next cold front may enter the northern
basin late Mon, but will likely dissipate as it moves into the
central and eastern Gulf through Tue night. Looking ahead, high 
pressure building over the northeastern Gulf in the wake of the 
front will support moderate to fresh SE winds and building seas 
across the northwest Gulf by Thu.
