Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1002 AM EST Wed Dec 3 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near Ft. Myers, Florida to
24N87W, where it becomes a stationary front and continues to
Veracruz, Mexico. Moderate winds and moderate seas are evident
behind the front. The cold front will slow down this morning,
while the stationary front lifts northward as another low pressure
system forms over South Texas and the NW Gulf. Moderate to locally
fresh southerly winds will develop this afternoon in W Gulf and
spread eastward tonight into Thu. Then, another cold front will
enter the NW waters on Thu, and extend from SE Louisiana to near
Tampico, Mexico Fri morning, then stall and gradually dissipate.
Looking ahead, a strong cold front is likely to sweep across the
Gulf late Sun into Mon, bringing fresh to strong NW to N winds
over much of the basin.
