Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1047 PM EDT Mon Jul 14 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure has shifted into the N-central
Gulf tonight, and extends a narrow ridge southeastward to the
Yucatan Channel. Gentle to moderate SE to S winds continue over
the western Gulf, with mainly light winds elsewhere. The high
pressure will drift slowly W-NW and into the NW Gulf through Thu.
Elongated low pressure is across the Atlantic, extending from
offshore of central Florida to offshore the southeastern U.S.
coast. This system is forecast to move westward across Florida Tue
and Tue night, and eventually emerge over the northeastern Gulf
by early Wed. Environmental conditions appear favorable and some
gradual development of this system is possible while it moves
westward to west-northwestward across the northeastern and north-
central portions of the Gulf during the middle to latter part of
this week. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, some
with strong gusty winds, will accompany this system.
