Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1121 PM EDT Sat Oct 3 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to fresh NE winds will follow a weak frontal
boundary that will drift into the far NW Gulf off the Texas coast
tonight, then along the Mexican coast to Veracruz through Tue. A
ridge will extend from the western Atlantic into north Florida
through late Sun, supporting moderate to fresh SE to S winds and
4-6 ft across much of the central and eastern Gulf. Looking ahead,
this ridge will shift southeastward into midweek ahead of the
slowly moving front, which will stall over the northern Gulf by
mid week. Fresh NE to E winds and building seas will persist north
of the front, with fresh to strong NW to N winds possible off
Veracruz through the early part of the week. Gentle to moderate
easterly winds and slight seas will persist elsewhere through the
latter part of the week.
