Synopsis for the Gulf of America
352 PM EDT Wed Aug 27 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A frontal boundary will linger over the northern Gulf
through tonight before lifting NW of the area by Thu. Then, high
pressure will dominate the basin the remainder of the week into
the weekend. Under this weather pattern, mainly gentle to moderate
winds will prevail across the basin, except for moderate to fresh
NE to E winds over the S-central and SW Gulf nightly as a diurnal
trough develops over the Yucatan Peninsula and moves westward at
night. Slight to locally moderate seas are forecast across the
Gulf waters through the upcoming weekend.
