Synopsis for the Gulf of America
301 PM EDT Sat Aug 30 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A weak cold front from just N of Tampa Bay to the
central Louisiana coast will sag south tonight, then meander over
the north-central and northeast Gulf through early next week,
bringing showers and thunderstorms to the area. The stronger
thunderstorms will induce locally hazardous winds and seas.
Elsewhere, the weak gradient in place will maintain mainly gentle
to moderate winds and slight to locally moderate seas through the
period.
