Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1017 PM EDT Thu Oct 1 2026
.SYNOPSIS...An upper-level low currently over SE Mexico will
promote scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms over the E
Gulf tonight, spreading to the N Gulf on Fri and Sat. A tightening
pressure gradient will increase SE winds up to fresh to locally
strong over the E and central Gulf tonight and Fri. A weak cold
moving across Texas will weaken the pressure gradient, allowing
the winds across the Gulf to diminish Fri into the weekend. On
Sun, the front will reach the NW Gulf, extending from Alabama to
just offshore the Texas-Mexico border to near Veracruz on Mon
morning. Winds behind the front should only be N to NE moderate to
locally fresh.
