Synopsis for the Gulf of America
449 PM EDT Tue Apr 14 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A ridge extends from high pressure over the west-
central Atlantic across Florida into the northern Gulf. This
pattern will maintain moderate to fresh E to SE winds and mostly
moderate seas through Sat, except in the NE and N-central parts
of the basin where mainly gentle to moderate winds and slight to
moderate seas will prevail. Expect stronger winds to pulse off
the Yucatan Peninsula each night through Sat. Looking ahead, fresh
to strong NE winds and building seas will follow a cold front
moving across the northern Gulf Sun and Sun night.
