Synopsis for the Gulf of America
420 PM EDT Wed Oct 8 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Disorganized showers and thunderstorms continue with
a trough of low pressure moving westward across the Bay of
Campeche. The system is expected to move inland over Mexico
tonight, and therefore its opportunity for any development will be
ending soon. Winds over the SW Gulf continue to strong breeze
with the trough through early this evening. Elsewhere, a building
high pressure north of the Gulf will promote fresh to strong NE
winds over the NE Gulf from Thu night through Fri night. Looking
ahead, winds and seas across the entire Gulf should be quiescent
from Sat to early next week.
