Synopsis for the Gulf of America
300 AM EST Sat Nov 22 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Relatively weak high pressure extends from the
western Atlantic westward over the eastern and central Gulf. The
high pressure will shift southeastward through Sun as a mostly
dry cold front moves across the northern Gulf waters this
afternoon and evening. Fresh to locally strong southeast to south
winds are expected to develop offshore of Texas and northeast
Mexico Sun night into Mon afternoon before becoming mostly fresh
south to southwest winds across the central and western Gulf
through early Tue as a weak cold front reaches the Texas coast. It
will be reinforced by a stronger cold front that will move across
the NW Gulf late Tue night into early Wed morning, and reach from
the near the western Florida panhandle to the west- central Gulf
by late Wed. Fresh northeast winds are expected behind this front.
Otherwise, moderate to occasionally fresh northeast to east winds
are expected each afternoon and evening in the Bay of Campeche
and north of the Yucatan Peninsula as a diurnal trough develops
and moves westward over the region. Moderate or weaker winds and
slight to moderate seas are expected elsewhere through much of
this weekend.
