Synopsis for the Gulf of America
441 PM EDT Fri Aug 29 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure dominates the area. A stationary
front extending from just inland northern Florida westward to
southeastern Louisiana will linger through the weekend, then
shift southward some as a cold front early next week as low
pressure develops along it and tracks northeastward to east
of the southeastern U.S. coast. The front will help maintain
unsettled weather conditions, with locally hazardous winds and
seas mainly along and just offshore the northern Gulf coast
through the weekend. Some of these conditions may spread
southward some over the offshore waters. The weak gradient in
place will maintain mainly gentle to moderate winds and slight to
locally moderate seas through the period.
