Synopsis for the Gulf of America
948 AM EST Fri Dec 5 2025
.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from a 1013 mb low pres near
Destin, Florida to 26N93W to Veracruz, Mexico this morning, with
scattered showers noted along the front. Fresh to strong N winds
and rough seas will prevail across the western Gulf behind the
front into this afternoon before winds and seas begin to
diminish. Mainly moderate or weaker winds are then expected over
the basin this 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. Gale-force
NW-N winds may develop off Veracruz Mon afternoon. Winds and seas
will diminish Tue into Wed.
