Synopsis for the Gulf of America
331 PM EST Fri Dec 5 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near Apalachicola, Florida
to 25N94W then becomes nearly stationary to just S of Veracruz,
Mexico, with scattered showers noted along the front. Fresh to
strong N winds and rough seas across the western Gulf behind the
front this afternoon will begin to quickly diminish this evening
and tonight. Mainly moderate or weaker winds are then expected
over the basin into Sun. Looking ahead, a new cold front is
expected to enter the northwestern Gulf Sun evening and sweep over
the basin into early next week, leading to fresh to strong N to
NW winds and building seas in the wake of the front. Gale-force
NW-N winds may develop off Veracruz Mon afternoon and evening.
Winds and seas will diminish Tue into Wed as the front stalls
across the NW Caribbean and W Cuba.
