Synopsis for the Gulf of America
357 AM EST Mon Dec 1 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from the Florida panhandle
to Tamaulipas, followed by fresh to occasionally strong N-NE
winds and seas to 8 ft. These winds and seas will diminish later
today. Low pressure may develop along the frontal boundary in the
NW Gulf today into tonight before the system lifts quickly
northeastward, resulting in fresh to strong N winds and locally
rough seas behind the boundary. Winds and seas will diminish late
Tue. Thereafter, the front will move southeastward farther into
the basin, but then stall over the south-central Gulf through mid-
week, as another low forms over South Texas. Looking ahead,
another cold front will enter the western waters late Thu,
reaching from SE Louisiana to Tamaulipas Fri morning.
