Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1003 PM EST Mon Dec 8 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from extreme southern Florida
to just along the northwest part of the Yucatan Peninsula and to
the eastern Bay of Campeche will stall from the Straits of
Florida to the Yucatan Peninsula Tue. Gale force winds offshore
Veracruz will diminish late tonight. The resultant very rough
seas will gradually subside Tue. Fresh to strong north to
northeast winds elsewhere behind the front over most of the basin
will diminish to moderate to fresh speeds over the SE and south-
central Gulf waters on Tue, with light to gentle winds expected
over the remainder of the Gulf. Seas will also subside on Tue as
the front stalls near the Yucatan Peninsula and eventually
dissipates around midweek. Looking ahead, weak high pressure will
build over the basin later this week, supporting gentle to
moderate winds and slight seas.
