Synopsis for the Gulf of America
746 AM EST Fri Nov 7 2025

.SYNOPSIS...A surface trough extends to the E Bay of Campeche
from the north-central Gulf near 26N91W. Moderate to locally 
fresh S to SW winds will develop over the western basin today and
continue through Sat as a complex low pressure system moves over 
the south-central U.S. Looking ahead, a strong cold front will 
move into the northwest Gulf Sun and progress southeastward,
exiting the basin Mon evening. Widespread strong N to NE winds 
and rough seas can be expected behind the front, and gale force 
winds and very rough seas are possible offshore of Veracruz Mon. 
Conditions will improve basin- wide by Tue evening.
