Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1119 PM EDT Tue May 12 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends across central Florida to
a 1013 mb low near 28N86W from which transitions to a cold front
that extends SW to the eastern Bay of Campeche. The cold front
will stall briefly tonight and exit the SE Gulf by Wed night.
Winds will be generally moderate or weaker on either side of the
front, except in the vicinity of the low where fresh to strong
winds are likely as indicated by recent scatterometer data. High
pressure and quiescent conditions will build behind the front on
Wed and Thu. Another weak cold front is forecast to enter the NE
Gulf Thu night and dissipate over the E Gulf on Fri. Otherwise,
southeast winds are forecast to reach moderate to fresh speeds
over the western half of the basin this weekend.
