Synopsis for the Gulf of America
938 AM EST Sun Nov 16 2025

.SYNOPSIS...Relatively weak high pressure centered over the
eastern 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 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 expected to become rough with these winds.
