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

.SYNOPSIS...Relatively weak high pressure cells 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 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. The cold front may push to
just offshore the Texas coast late Fri and become stationary.
