SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
404 AM EST FRI DEC 12 2025
SYNOPSIS
A WEAKENING FRONT HAS BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY FROM
THE STRAITS OF FLORIDA TO NEAR 25N94W AND IS EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE
TODAY. ELSEWHERE, WEAK HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE NE GULF WILL SLIDE
EASTWARD AND INTO THE ATLANTIC THROUGH SAT TO PRODUCE MODERATE TO
OCCASIONALLY FRESH E TO SE WINDS ACROSS THE S AND W GULF.
OTHERWISE, MODERATE OR WEAKER WINDS AND SLIGHT SEAS ARE EXPECTED
OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE BASIN THROUGH SAT. THE NEXT COLD FRONT
IS EXPECTED TO ENTER THE NORTHERN GULF ON SUN MORNING, BRINGING
INCREASING WINDS AND BUILDING SEAS BEHIND THE FRONT. THE FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO REACH THE SOUTHERN GULF ALONG 24N BY MON MORNING AND
MOVE SOUTH OF THE BASIN LATE MON NIGHT.
