Synopsis for the Gulf of America
951 PM EST Sun Nov 16 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Relatively weak high pressure centered over the
central and southeastern Gulf will generally maintain gentle to
moderate anticyclonic flow across the basin through Mon.
Afterward, stronger high pressure that moves offshore the Mid-
Atlantic region will build south-southwestward across the northern
Gulf through the rest of the period, with its associated gradient
resulting in fresh to locally strong southeast to south winds
across most of basin, with the strong wind speeds expected mainly
in the NW Gulf as a cold front moves across central Texas. Seas
are likely to become rough with these winds. The cold front may
push to just offshore the Texas coast late Fri and become
stationary.
