Synopsis for the Gulf of America
334 AM EST Tue Dec 9 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from the Straits of Florida to
the Yucatan Peninsula will stall today. Strong to near gale-force
winds offshore Veracruz will diminish during the morning  late
tonight. Fresh to strong north to northeast winds elsewhere
northwest of the front to a line from 29N91W to 26N95W and to
20N96W will diminish today, with moderate to fresh north to
northeast winds remaining over the southeast, south-central
and eastern Bay of Campeche zones. These winds will diminish late
tonight into early Wed as the front weakens further, and at which
time light to gentle winds are expected over most of the basin.
Seas throughout will subside today. Weak high pressure will slide
eastward across the northern Gulf later this week in the wake of
a cold front that will be clipping the northern Gulf. Light to
gentle winds will be near the high while gentle to moderate winds
will be elsewhere over the Gulf. Slight seas are expected for the
remainder of the period after today.
