Synopsis for the Gulf of America
424 AM EST Fri Nov 7 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A surface trough extends to the E Bay of Campeche
from the north-central Gulf near 26N91W. Moderate SE winds are
expected over the north-central Gulf, north and east of the trough
axis, through this morning. Moderate to locally fresh S to SW
winds will then develop over the western basin today and continue
through Sat as a complex low pressure system moves over the
south-central U.S. Looking ahead, a strong cold front will move
into the northwest Gulf on Sun and progress southeastward through
the basin into Mon evening. Widespread strong N to NE winds and
rough seas can be expected behind the front, and gale force winds
and very rough seas will be possible offshore of Veracruz Mon
morning into the evening hours. Conditions will improve basin-wide
by Tue evening.
