Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1024 AM EDT Tue Apr 7 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A nearly-stationary cold front extends from near
Tampa Bay to just offshore the NW Yucatan Peninsula. A 1012 mb
low pressure is noted along this front near 23N90W. Fresh to
strong winds and rough seas in the SW Gulf will decrease today,
but strong NE winds and rough seas in the NE Gulf will increase
as the low tracks east along the slow-moving front and across
Florida into tonight. Thunderstorms with locally gusty winds can
be expected across the eastern Gulf ahead of the low. The front
will then stall into late week over the far SE basin and
gradually dissipate, leaving a tight pressure gradient between it
and building high pressure from the SE U.S. This will maintain the
strong winds and rough seas over the NE basin much of the week,
with near gale conditions possible Wed and Thu offshore Florida.
Conditions will begin to improve somewhat Fri as the high pressure
builds southwestward across the northern Gulf.
