Synopsis for the Gulf of America

221 PM EST Fri Nov 13 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from the Florida Keys to

offshore Veracruz, Mexico, will move southward and out of the

basin by tonight. Moderate to fresh N winds will veer easterly

into Sat as high pressure builds southward toward the region in

the wake of the front. These E winds will increase Sat night into

Sun, to strong over the northern Gulf ahead of the next cold front

that will move offshore Texas Sun night into Mon. Near gale-force

winds are likely in the far northern Gulf ahead of this cold front

early next week.
