Synopsis for the Gulf of America
425 PM EDT Mon Oct 12 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending from near Chokoloskee,
Florida to 23N90W to 25N94W will dissipate through Wed. High
pressure building in the wake of the front over the north-central
Gulf will support E to SE winds and moderate seas from the Florida
Straits to the Texas coast, and gentle breezes and slight seas
elsewhere. Looking ahead, a cold front will enter the northwest
Gulf Fri night, and reach from southwest Florida to the far
southwest Gulf by Sat night. Strong to near-gale force winds and
rough seas will follow the front, with strong gales possible off
the coast of Mexico between Tampico and Coatzacoalcos Fri night
through Sat night.
