Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1034 PM EDT Thu Aug 28 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A 1015 mb low pres in the central Gulf is producing a
few showers, while the remainder of the basin is dominated by weak
ridging. Looking ahead, a cold front is forecast to reach the NE
Gulf on Fri, then stall, and remain nearly stationary through Sun
with little change in winds and seas. A weak high pressure regime
will persist in the rest of the Gulf through the weekend into
early next week. Under this weather pattern, mainly gentle to
moderate winds and slight to locally moderate seas will prevail.
