Synopsis for the Gulf of America
523 AM EDT Fri May 9 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Cold front extends across the NW Gulf of America,
producing a strong squall line that is generating frequent
lightning, gusty winds and suddenly higher seas. The front will
move eastward today, with a low developing along the front near 
SE Louisiana. The low will meander over the NE Gulf through Sun 
while the front will move eastward across the western half of the 
basin. By Mon, the low is forecast to move northward and the front
will continue to move across the eastern Gulf. Fresh to strong 
northerly winds and moderate to rough seas are expected in the 
wake of the front through Sat night. Seas to 9 ft are expected Fri
night into Sat morning in the SW Gulf. Smoke from agricultural 
fires in southeastern Mexico is creating hazy conditions in parts 
of the Gulf region.
