Synopsis for the Gulf of America
418 PM EDT Mon May 12 2025
.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from the Big Bend of Florida
through the Yucatan Channel will drift eastward today before
exiting the basin on Tue. Scattered thunderstorms are expected
along and east of the front today, and gusty and erratic winds and
rapidly building seas will be possible near convection.
Elsewhere, pulsing moderate to fresh W winds are expected across
the northern Gulf through early Tue as a trough moves eastward
over the region. Otherwise, high pressure will build over the
basin this week. A strengthening pressure gradient between
deepening low pressure in the central United States and the
aforementioned high will support fresh to locally strong S to SE
winds and rough seas offshore of Texas and Mexico Tue through late
week.
