Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1106 AM EDT Wed Sep 3 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A nearly stationary front extending from the Florida
Keys to the north-central Gulf near 27N90W will gradually weaken
today, becoming a frontal trough and likely persisting over the
east-central Gulf through Fri. This system will continue to
generate scattered to numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms,
mainly across the eastern part of the basin. Elsewhere, a weak
pressure gradient in place will maintain gentle to moderate winds
with slight to locally moderate seas through the forecast period.
