Synopsis for the Gulf of America
309 AM EST Sun Nov 16 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Gentle to moderate anticyclonic winds will dominate
the basin as high pressure remains centered in the eastern Gulf
through Mon. High pressure will then become oriented more over the
southeastern U.S., causing winds to become more southeasterly in
the Gulf, and gradually increase by mid-week. Wed night and Thu,
fresh to locally strong southerly winds are likely in the NW Gulf,
along with moderate to locally rough seas.
