Synopsis for the Gulf of America
924 AM EST Sun Nov 23 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A weak stationary frontal boundary extending from the
western Florida Panhandle to South Texas will lift northeastward
as a warm front later today as low pressure develops near the
Texas and Oklahoma panhandles. Expect fresh southerly flow off
the Texas coast tonight through Mon night supported by the
gradient between low pressure over northeast Mexico and high
pressure off the Carolinas. These winds will diminish Tue ahead
of a frontal boundary that will be nearing the Texas coast. A
stronger reinforcing cold front will overtake the frontal boundary
early Wed while emerging out over the northwest Gulf. The cold
front will then sweep to the southeast of the basin by late Thu,
followed by fresh to strong northeast winds and building seas.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms may accompany the initial
frontal boundary.
