Synopsis for the Gulf of America

951 PM EST Sun Nov 16 2025



.SYNOPSIS...Relatively weak high pressure centered over the 

central and southeastern Gulf will generally maintain gentle to 

moderate anticyclonic flow across the basin through Mon. 

Afterward, stronger high pressure that moves offshore the Mid- 

Atlantic region will build south-southwestward across the northern

Gulf through the rest of the period, with its associated gradient

resulting in fresh to locally strong southeast to south winds 

across most of basin, with the strong wind speeds expected mainly 

in the NW Gulf as a cold front moves across central Texas. Seas 

are likely to become rough with these winds. The cold front may 

push to just offshore the Texas coast late Fri and become 

stationary.
