Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1059 PM EDT Mon Apr 13 2026



.SYNOPSIS...High pressure centered over the west-central Atlantic

extends a ridge across Florida into the Gulf. This will maintain 

moderate to fresh E to SE winds and mostly moderate seas through 

Fri. Expect stronger winds to pulse across the SE part of the 

Gulf, including the Florida Straits, through Tue, and off the 

Yucatan Peninsula each night through Wed, driven by local effects 

associated with a thermal trough.
