Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1034 PM EDT Fri Oct 2 2026
.SYNOPSIS...An upper-level low over the Bay of Campeche will
sustain scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms over most
of the eastern and central Gulf through the weekend. A moderate
pressure gradient between the subtropical ridge over the western
Atlantic and lower pressures in the Gulf will support moderate to
locally strong SE winds over much of the eastern half of the Gulf
into Sun. A weak cold front is expected to move across the NW Gulf
this weekend, and stall from the Florida panhandle to NW Gulf and
to the SW by late Sun. Weak low pressure may ride up along the front
during the weekend and into Mon enhancing winds some in the NW
Gulf and in the north-central Gulf. The front will remain stationary
into midweek. Fresh to strong NE winds are expected behind the
front beginning Tue, mainly in the NE and north-central Gulf, as
strong high pressure builds southward behind it. Light to moderate
are generally expected across the basin through the period.
