Synopsis for the Gulf of America
329 PM EST Thu Dec 4 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front entering the northwestern Gulf today
will move southeastward over the basin through Fri, and fresh to
locally strong N to NE winds and moderate seas will occur in the
western Gulf behind the front into Fri afternoon. Localized near-
gale force winds will be possible offshore of northeastern Mexico
early on Fri. Mainly moderate or weaker winds are then expected
over the basin Fri evening into Sun. Looking ahead, a new cold
front is expected to enter the northwestern Gulf late on Sun 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.
