Synopsis for the Gulf of America
308 PM EST Mon Dec 1 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from central Florida to a
1015 mb low pressure located over the NW Gulf near 27N96W, then
continues southward from the low center to near Tuxpan, Mexico.
Fresh to strong N to NE winds and moderate to locally rough seas
are N of the front over the western Gulf and in the vicinity of
the low center. This system will move quickly northeastward
tonight, resulting in fresh to strong N winds and locally rough
seas behind the associated frontal 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
by Wed, as another low forms over South Texas and the NW Gulf.
Looking ahead, another cold front will enter the NW waters late
Thu, reaching from SE Louisiana to near Poza Rica, Mexico Fri
morning.
