Synopsis for the Gulf of America

154 AM EST Fri Nov 21 2025



.SYNOPSIS...Relatively weak high pressure extending westward 

from the western Atlantic to the central and eastern Gulf will 

change little into early next week. A weak cold front will move 

across the northern Gulf Sat through Sun, with very little impact

on winds and seas. Otherwise, moderate to locally fresh NE to E 

winds will pulse offshore of the Yucatan Peninsula and into the 

Bay of Campeche each afternoon and evening into next week as a 

trough develops each day and moves westward. Elsewhere, moderate 

to occasionally fresh SE to S winds and slight to moderate seas 

are expected over much of the Gulf today as ridging prevails over 

the southeastern United States. Looking ahead, fresh to locally 

strong SE winds will develop in the northwestern Gulf starting 

late Sun into next week as the pressure gradient between the high

pressure and low pressure W of the area Gulf tightens. A cold 

front then moves into the far western Gulf early on Tue, then 

stalls and weakens.
