Synopsis for the Gulf of America
418 PM EDT Sun Apr 13 2025

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure remains centered over the
north-central Gulf generally providing for light to gentle
anticyclonic winds across the basin, except for gentle to
moderate southerly return flow over the far western Gulf. The
high pressure will shift E to the western Atlantic by Mon
allowing for the gentle to moderate return flow to increase 
slightly before diminishing Tue. Winds throughout begin to 
increase to mostly fresh speeds Thu and Thu night, except 
increasing to fresh to strong over the west-central Gulf Fri and 
Fri night.
