SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
1008 AM EST MON DEC 8 2025
SYNOPSIS
A STRONG COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM THE FLORIDA
PANHANDLE TO THE WESTERN BAY OF CAMPECHE WILL PROGRESS
SOUTHEASTWARD OVER THE BASIN EARLY THIS WEEK. GALE FORCE WINDS AND
LOCALIZED VERY ROUGH SEAS ARE EXPECTED OFFSHORE OF VERACRUZ THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING, WITH STRONG WINDS CONTINUING IN THIS REGION
INTO EARLY TUE. WIDESPREAD STRONG N WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS WILL
OCCUR IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT OVER THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN GULF
INTO EARLY TUE, WITH MAINLY FRESH WINDS AND MODERATE SEAS EXPECTED
IN THE EASTERN BASIN. WINDS AND SEAS WILL DIMINISH FROM NORTHWEST
TO SOUTHEAST THROUGH TUE AS THE FRONT STALLS NEAR THE YUCATAN
PENINSULA AND EVENTUALLY DISSIPATES AROUND MIDWEEK. LOOKING AHEAD,
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE BASIN LATER THIS WEEK,
SUPPORTING GENTLE TO MODERATE WINDS AND SLIGHT SEAS.
