Synopsis for the Gulf of America
409 PM EDT Fri May 9 2025
.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from the northern Gulf of
America southwestward to east-central Mexico will slowly progress
to the south and east into early next week. Strong thunderstorms
will continue along and ahead of the front, producing very strong
winds and rough seas. Widespread fresh to strong N to NE winds are
also expected in the wake of the front through Sat, with the most
persistent strong winds occurring west of 95W offshore of Mexico
into early Sat. Locally rough seas may accompany these winds,
especially near Tampico and Veracruz. Winds will diminish by early
Sun. Farther east, low pressure looks to strengthen in the
eastern Gulf on Sat, producing fresh to strong winds surrounding
the low as it moves northeastward through the basin into early
next week.
