Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1026 PM EST Sat Nov 29 2025

.SYNOPSIS...The gradient between high pressure centered mid-
Atlantic coast of the U.S. and a stationary front southeast of
the basin is supporting fresh to strong winds in the Florida
Straits and far southeast Gulf. These winds will diminish Sun as
the front dissipates. Fresh SE winds persist over the far western
Gulf ahead of an approaching cold front over Texas. This front
will move offshore Mon, stall Mon night into Tue, when a low
pressure will form off Texas and move northeastward across the
southeast U.S. into the northwest Atlantic. Thereafter, the front
will move southeastward farther into the basin, but then stall
into late week as another low forms over Texas.
