Synopsis for the Gulf of America
415 AM EST Mon Nov 24 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from the Florida panhandle
to SE Texas. The front is expected to become a warm front and lift
northeastward this morning as low pressure develops over the
Southern Plains. Expect fresh southerly flow off the Texas coast
through tonight supported by the gradient between low pressure
over northeast Mexico and high pressure off the Carolinas. These
winds will diminish Tue ahead of a frontal boundary that will be
nearing the Texas coast. A stronger reinforcing cold front will
overtake the frontal boundary early Wed, then move into the
northwest Gulf. The cold front will then sweep to the southeast of
the basin by late Thu, followed by fresh to strong northeast
winds and building seas into the weekend. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms may accompany the initial frontal boundary.
