Synopsis for the Gulf of America

334 PM EST Sat Dec 6 2025



.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from just N of Port Richey,

Florida to 24N94.5W, then becomes nearly stationary to the western

Bay of Campeche along 95W. A few clusters of showers continue 

along the front. Moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas 

prevail N and W of the front and will persist into Sun as the

front weakens and drifts northward. A new cold front is expected 

to enter the NW Gulf Sun evening and overtake the current front, 

while sweeping across the basin into early next week. This will 

lead to fresh to strong N to NW winds and building seas in the 

wake of the front. Gale-force NW to N winds are expected off 

Veracruz Mon evening. Winds and seas will diminish Tue into Wed as

the front stalls across the Yucatan Channel and Straits of 

Florida, and high pressure settles across the central Gulf.
