Synopsis for the Gulf of America
958 AM EST Mon Dec 1 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from near Tampa Bay, FL to
the NW Gulf, then southward to near Tampico, Mexico. Fresh to
occasionally strong N to NE winds and seas to 8 ft follow the
front. These winds and seas will diminish later today. Low pressure
may develop along the frontal boundary in the NW Gulf today into
tonight before the system lifts quickly northeastward, resulting
in fresh to strong N winds and locally rough seas behind the
boundary. Winds and seas will diminish late Tue. Thereafter, the
front will move southeastward farther into the basin, but then
stall over the south-central Gulf through mid-week, as another
low forms over South Texas. Looking ahead, another cold front will
enter the western waters late Thu, reaching from SE Louisiana to
near Poza Rica, Mexico Fri morning.
