Synopsis for the Gulf of America
348 AM EST Sun Nov 23 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A weak stationary frontal boundary extends from
southeastern Louisiana to inland Texas near Corpus Christi.
It will lift northeastward as a warm front later today as low
pressure develops near the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles. The
eastern portion of this boundary is a cold front that is
approaching the western Florida panhandle. It will move across
the NE Gulf today into this evening. Expect fresh southerly flow
off the Texas coast tonight through Mon night supported by the
gradient between low pressure over northeast Mexico and high
pressure that will be centered just offshore the Mid-Atlantic
coast. These winds will diminish Tue ahead of a frontal boundary
that will be nearing the Texas coast. A stronger reinforcing cold
front will overtake the frontal boundary early Wed while emerging
out over the NW Gulf. The cold front will then sweep to the
southeast of the basin by late Thu, followed by fresh northeast
winds and building seas. Scattered showers and thunderstorms may
accompany the initial frontal boundary.
