Synopsis for the Gulf of America
949 AM EST Thu Dec 11 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to locally fresh N to NE winds are expected
over the northern Gulf into this afternoon, in the wake of a cold
front extending from central Florida to near the Texas-Mexico
border. The front will progress southeastward through tonight
before dissipating. Elsewhere, moderate to occasionally fresh E to
NE winds will occur in the eastern Bay of Campeche and offshore
of the Yucatan Peninsula each night through Sat. Otherwise,
moderate or weaker winds and slight seas are expected over the
remainder of the basin through Sat. Looking ahead, the next cold
front is slated to enter the northern Gulf on Sun, and increasing
winds and building seas will occur in the wake of the front.
