Synopsis for the Gulf of America
344 AM EST Sat Dec 6 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near Yankeetown, Florida to
26N90W, then becomes nearly stationary to near Veracruz, Mexico. A
few showers are evident behind the front. Moderate or weaker
winds and moderate seas prevail across the basin and these marine
conditions will persist into Sun afternoon. A new cold front is
expected to enter the NW Gulf Sun evening and sweep over the basin
into early next week, leading to fresh to strong N to NW winds
and building seas in the wake of the front. Gale-force NW-N winds
may develop off Veracruz Mon afternoon and evening. Winds and seas
will diminish Tue into Wed as the front stalls across the NW
Caribbean and W Cuba.
