Synopsis for the Gulf of America
347 AM EDT Sat Aug 30 2025

.SYNOPSIS...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.
