Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

402 PM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024



.SYNOPSIS...A ridge across the Gulf region is allowing for gentle

to moderate E to SE winds across the eastern Gulf, and moderate

to fresh SE winds over the western Gulf. The pressure gradient 

will tighten over the Gulf beginning tonight resulting in 

increasing east to southeast fresh to strong winds over just 

about the entire basin through Sun night. Seas will build to 10 

ft in the NW Gulf on Sun. Meanwhile, winds will pulse to fresh to

strong speeds near the Yucatan Peninsula each evening through 

the forecast period.
