Synopsis for the Gulf of America
935 AM EST Thu Dec 4 2025
.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to occasionally fresh S to SE winds are
expected over much of the Gulf today ahead of a cold front moving
through the southern United States. The front is slated to enter
the northwestern basin later today, and fresh to locally strong N
to NE winds and moderate seas will occur in the western Gulf
behind the front into Fri afternoon, with localized near-gale
force winds possible offshore of northeastern Mexico. Mainly
moderate or weaker winds are then expected over the basin Fri
night into Sun. Looking ahead, a new cold front is expected to
enter the northwestern Gulf 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.
