Synopsis for the Gulf of America

226 AM EST Sun Nov 15 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A tightening pressure gradient between high pressure

building southward toward the basin and possible low pressure

developing in the west- central or NW Gulf will lead to 

increasing NE to E winds over the northern Gulf. Winds will 

increase to gale- force over portions of the NW and north- 

central basin tonight through Mon. Strong to near gale- force N 

winds will also funnel down the NE coast of Mexico, including 

offshore Veracruz, for the start of the week. Fresh to strong NE 

to E winds are then likely to continue across the NE Gulf into the

middle of next week as a tight pressure gradient prevails. Rough 

seas will build in association with these strong winds, and may 

impact portions of the northern and western basin well into the 

week.
