Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1013 PM EDT Tue Oct 13 2026



.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the north-central Gulf will

support E to SE winds and moderate seas from the Florida Straits

to the Texas coast, and gentle breezes and slight seas

elsewhere. A cold front is expected to enter the northwest Gulf

Fri night, and reach from southwest Florida to the far southwest

Gulf by Sat night. Strong to near-gale force winds and rough seas

will follow the front, with gales possible off the coast of 

Mexico between Tampico and Coatzacoalcos late Fri night into Sun.
