Synopsis for the Gulf of America
308 PM EDT Tue Sep 2 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A nearly stationary front extending from south Florida
to near Corpus Christi, Texas will gradually dissipate through
Wed. Then, a frontal trough will likely persist over the east-
central Gulf through Fri. This system will continue to generate
scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, mainly across the
northern half of the basin. Elsewhere, a weak pressure gradient
in place will maintain gentle to moderate winds with slight to
locally moderate seas through Sun. Looking ahead, winds may
increase to fresh speeds across the NW Gulf by Sun night.
