Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1000 PM EST Sun Dec 7 2025
.SYNOPSIS...A weak cold front extends from central Florida
southwestward to the west-central Gulf near 26N94W. Scattered to
numerous showers and thunderstorms moving eastward are south of
the front from 26N to 27.5N and between the Florida coast and
85W. This activity may produce strong gusty winds. Scattered
showers and isolated thunderstorms are within 60 nm south of the
front between 85W and 88W. The front will weaken further tonight
as it drifts southeastward. A cold front has entered the western
Gulf along a position from southwest Louisiana to near Brownsville,
Texas. This cold front is expected to overtake the weak front on
Mon as it sweeps southeastward across the basin through Tue. This
will lead to fresh to strong northwest to north winds and building
seas in the wake of this front. Gale-force northwest to north
winds are expected to briefly occur off Veracruz Mon afternoon
into the evening. Winds may reach near gale in the NW Gulf tonight
into early Mon. Winds and seas will diminish Tue into Wed as the
front stalls across the entrance to the Yucatan Channel and
Straits of Florida, and high pressure settles across the central
Gulf. Light to gentle winds and slight seas will persist late Wed
through Fri night.
