Synopsis for the Gulf of America

404 PM EST Tue Nov 10 2026



.SYNOPSIS...The combination of high pressure and a couple of

troughs, one in the eastern Gulf extending from 29N85W to 23N86W,

and the other one in the western Gulf from near Corpus Christi to

23N97W and to 19N95W, is generally allowing for light to gentle 

winds across the basin, with the exception of mostly moderate 

north winds west of the western Gulf trough from 22N to 24N. 

Slight seas are over the basin. A rather strong cold front will 

reach the Texas coast Wed night, then sweep across the Gulf 

through Thu night exiting the basin early on Fri, and followed by

fresh to locally strong northerly winds and building seas. Fresh 

to strong northwest winds are expected in the far SW Gulf Thu 

through Fri. High pressure will settle in over the area in 

the wake of the front this weekend, with moderate to fresh 

easterly winds expected. These winds increase to fresh to strong 

speeds over the NW Gulf Sun, then shifting to the north-central 

and NE Gulf by Sun night as the gradient tightens ahead of a 

western Gulf frontal system and attendant low pressure that will 

be shifting eastward.
