Synopsis for the Gulf of America

259 PM EDT Fri Apr 25 2025



.SYNOPSIS...A 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.
