Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1005 PM EDT Fri Aug 29 2025



.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure dominates the area. A stationary

front extending from just inland northern Florida westward to

southeastern Louisiana will linger through the weekend, then

shift southward some as a cold front early next week as low

pressure develops along it and tracks northeastward to east of

the southeastern U.S. coast. The front will help maintain

unsettled weather conditions, with locally hazardous winds and

seas mainly along and just offshore the northern Gulf coast

through the weekend. Some of these conditions may spread

southward some over the offshore waters. The weak gradient in

place will maintain mainly gentle to moderate winds and slight

to locally moderate seas through the period.
