Synopsis for the Gulf of America

830 PM EST Fri Feb 21 2025



.SYNOPSIS...Near gale force winds off Veracruz will diminish to

fresh speeds Sat afternoon. A trough over the west-central and

SW Gulf will remain nearly stationary through Sat night. Low

pressure will form along the trough on Sat near the Lower Texas 

coast. The low will track NE through early Sun night, then 

quickly E to SE toward southern Florida on Mon. A cold front will 

trail from the low as it moves across the basin. Fresh to strong 

winds are expected around the low pressure while moderate to fresh

winds are expected behind the boundary. Weak high pressure will 

settle over the central Gulf Tue through Wed night in its wake 

with tranquil marine conditions across the basin.
