Synopsis for the Gulf of America
259 AM EST Wed Nov 26 2025
.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending from Alabama to S Texas
is producing only gentle to moderate winds early this morning. A
stronger cold front will reach the NW Gulf later this morning and
steadily sweep across the Gulf. The cold front should extend from
near Tampa to Tampico tonight, from the Florida Straits to near
Veracruz Thu night, and then exit the Gulf by Fri morning.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms may accompany the cold front.
Fresh to strong NE winds will follow in the wake of the cold front
with conditions improving by Fri night. Fresh to strong return
flow should set up in the NW Gulf Fri night and Sat. Looking
ahead, the next cold front may emerge from the Texas coast Sat
night and progress southeastward across the W Gulf on Sun.
