Synopsis for the Gulf of America
405 AM EST Sun Dec 7 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from Siesta Key, Florida to
26N95W. A few showers are seen north of the boundary. Moderate or
lighter winds and slight to moderate seas prevail across the basin
and will persist through this evening as the front weakens and
drifts northward. A cold front is expected to enter the NW Gulf
tonight and overtake the current front, while sweeping across the
basin into early next week. This will lead to fresh to strong N to
NW winds and building seas in the wake of the front. Gale-force
NW to N winds are forecast off Veracruz Mon evening. Winds and
seas will diminish Tue into Wed as the front stalls across 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 the end of next week.
