Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

331 AM EST Fri Jan 31 2025



.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to locally fresh S to SE winds will occur 

across the central and eastern Gulf this morning as the pressure 

gradient strengthens between a cold front moving through the NW 

Gulf and building high pressure over the western Atlantic. Winds 

may pulse to strong speeds in the central Gulf. Winds will turn to

the NW to NE behind the aforementioned cold front, with fresh to 

locally strong winds possible today as the front moves 

southeastward. Winds will briefly reach gale force in the 

southwestern Gulf offshore of Veracruz this evening, with strong 

winds occurring through early Sat. Locally very rough seas will 

accompany these winds. The front will stall then dissipate this 

weekend, and ridging will build over the basin, supporting gentle 

to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas across the Gulf this

weekend into early next week.
