Synopsis for the Gulf of America
957 PM EST Sat Dec 6 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near Clearwater Beach,
Florida to 26N94W, then becomes nearly stationary to the western
Bay of Campeche along 94W. A few clusters of showers continue
along and behind the front. Moderate or weaker winds and moderate
seas prevail across the basin and will persist into Sun as the
front weakens and drifts northward. A new cold front is expected
to enter the NW Gulf Sun evening and overtake the current front,
while sweeping across the basin into early next week. This will
lead to fresh to strong N to NW winds and building seas in the
wake of the front. Gale-force NW to N winds are expected off
Veracruz Mon evening. Winds and seas will diminish Tue into Wed as
the front stalls across the Yucatan Channel and Straits of
Florida, and high pressure settles across the central Gulf.
