GMZ001-232100- 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. $$ GMZ040-232100- NW Gulf of America including Stetson Bank- 348 AM EST Sun Nov 23 2025 .TODAY...E to SE winds 10 kt.
