Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1016 PM EDT Fri Apr 25 2025



.SYNOPSIS...A surface ridge will continue to dominate the Gulf 

waters this weekend into early next week supporting gentle to 

moderate E to SE winds and moderate seas. Winds will pulse to 

fresh to strong speeds over the east and central Bay of Campeche 

through Tue night due to local effects related to a thermal trough

coming off the Yucatan Peninsula. Winds of moderate to fresh 

speeds and moderate seas are forecast in the Straits of Florida 

through the period due to persistent high pressure NE of the area.
