Synopsis for the Gulf of America
936 AM EDT Thu May 14 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A frontal boundary over the SE Gulf will slowly move
southeastward and stall over the Straits of Florida today and lose
definition through Fri. Otherwise, weak high pressure over the
basin will maintain rather quiet conditions today. Another weak
cold front is forecast to enter the NE Gulf tonight and dissipate
over the eastern Gulf on Fri. Southeast winds are forecast to
reach moderate to fresh speeds over the western half of the basin
this weekend and into early next week as the pressure gradient
tightens between the western extension of Atlantic high pressure
and relatively lower pressures in west Texas.
