Synopsis for the Gulf of America
322 AM EDT Fri Aug 29 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A weak high pressure dominates the Gulf waters. A
stationary front straddles the northern Gulf waters generating a
few showers. The frontal boundary will slide southward as a cold
front today, then remain nearly stationary through Sun with
little change in winds and seas. A weak high pressure regime will
persist in the rest of the Gulf through the weekend into early
next week. Under this weather pattern, mainly gentle to moderate
winds and slight to locally moderate seas will prevail.
