Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1043 AM EDT Sun May 11 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Scattered thunderstorms occurring along and east of a
stationary front, currently extending from the northern Gulf 
Coast through the Yucatan Peninsula, will continue through Mon, 
producing strong and erratic winds and rapidly building seas. The 
front will drift eastward early this week, exiting the basin on 
Tue. Farther west, a trough is slated to move across the northern 
Gulf of America tonight through Mon, supporting pulsing moderate 
to fresh W to NW winds across the northern basin into Tue. Looking
ahead, high pressure will build across the Gulf by midweek. A 
strengthening pressure gradient between deepening low pressure in 
the central United States and the aforementioned high will support
fresh to locally strong S winds offshore of Texas and Mexico Tue 
through late week.
