Synopsis for the Gulf of America
259 PM EST Wed Nov 26 2025
.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from the Florida Panhandle to
extreme NE Mexico is moving slowly southward across the northern
Gulf this afternoon, with active showers and thunderstorms along
the front. The front will move SE and is expected to extend from
near Tampa to Tampico Thu morning, from the Florida Straits to
near Cabo Rojo, Mexico Thu night, and then exit the Gulf to the
southeast by Fri morning. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will
continue along and ahead of the cold front. Fresh to strong NE
winds will follow in the wake of the cold front, with conditions
improving Fri night through Sat. Fresh to strong return flow
will set up in the NW Gulf Fri night and Sat. Looking ahead, the
next cold front will emerge from the Texas coast Sat night and
meander slowly southeastward across the NW Gulf Sun through Mon.
