Synopsis for the Gulf of America
946 PM EST Tue Dec 2 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from Tarpon Springs, Florida to
23N92W, then a stationary front to Veracruz, Mexico. Moderate to
fresh N winds and moderate seas are noted in the wake of the
front. However, locally strong and locally rough seas may be
occurring off Tampico and Veracruz. These marine conditions will
diminish by tonight. The cold front will move southeastward,
reaching the south-central Gulf by Wed morning. Then, the front
will stall and lift northward by late Wed, as another low pressure
system forms over South Texas and the NW Gulf. Looking ahead,
another cold front will enter the NW waters on Thu, and extend
from SE Louisiana to near Tampico, Mexico Fri morning, then stall
and lift north toward the northern Gulf on Sat.
