Synopsis for the Gulf of America

410 PM EDT Sat Mar 28 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A cold front is moving across the Gulf waters and 

stretches from near Tampa Bay, Florida to NE Mexico near 24N98W. 

Fresh to strong N winds follow the front that will extend from 

South Florida to the central Gulf near 25N90W by Sun morning, and 

move southeast of the basin late on Sun. As the front moves 

southward, fresh to strong NE to E winds and moderate to rough 

seas will develop over the eastern Gulf late today into Sun. The 

pressure gradient will remain strong enough to sustain moderate to

fresh easterly winds and moderate to rough seas across the 

southeast Gulf and the Straits of Florida through the middle of 

the next week.
