Synopsis for the Gulf of America
253 PM EST Tue Dec 9 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to fresh NE winds and rough seas will
continue in the Bay of Campeche and the southeastern Gulf through
this evening, in the wake of a front that has stalled over the
northwestern Caribbean. Elsewhere, moderate to locally fresh W to
NW winds and moderate seas will develop in the northeastern basin
by Wed ahead of a cold front moving through the southern United
States. The front is slated to enter the northern Gulf by early
Thu, with winds turning to the N in the wake of the front.
Otherwise, moderate or weaker winds and slight seas are expected
over the remainder of the Gulf into this weekend as weak high
pressure prevails over the basin.
