Synopsis for the Gulf of America
335 AM EST Wed Dec 3 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from Venice, Florida to 25N87W,
where it becomes a stationary front and continues to Veracruz,
Mexico. Moderate winds and moderate seas are evident behind the
front. The cold front will slow down to this morning, while the
stationary front lifts northward as another low pressure system
forms over South Texas and the NW Gulf. Moderate to fresh
southerly winds will develop this afternoon in W Gulf and spread
eastward tonight into Thu. Then, another cold front will enter the
NW waters on Thu, and extend from SE Louisiana to near Tampico,
Mexico Fri morning, then stall and gradually dissipate. Looking
ahead, a strong cold front is likely to sweep across the Gulf late
Sun into Mon, bringing strong N winds over much of the basin.
