Synopsis for the Gulf of America
259 AM EST Thu Nov 12 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front will reach the Texas coast
tomorrow morning, then sweep across the basin through tomorrow
night exiting the area early on Fri. A pre-frontal trough in the
western Gulf will promote fresh to locally strong N to NW winds
near Tampico and Veracruz tomorrow and Fri. Elsewhere, moderate
to locally fresh N winds are expected in the wake of the cold
front. High pressure will build southward into the region this
weekend, with increasing easterly winds as the high shifts
eastward Sun. Fresh to strong E winds are likely across portions
of the northern Gulf starting on Sun as the pressure gradient
increases. Looking ahead, a second cold front should move offshore
the Texas coast Mon morning. The strong E winds will shift to
mostly the NE Gulf Mon and Mon night as the front translates
eastward across the Gulf.
