Synopsis for the Gulf of America
349 AM EDT Mon Apr 6 2026
.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from Apalachicola Bay to just
north of Veracruz, Mexico will move slowly SE and reach from SW
Florida to the eastern Bay of Campeche tonight, then drift slowly
SE of the basin Tue and Tue night. Scattered thunderstorms with
locally gusty winds will accompany the front. Strong NE winds and
rough seas will continue in the western Gulf behind the front
tonight, then strong NE winds will develop in the NE basin, as low
pressure develops in the Atlantic after the front exits the Gulf
of America. Conditions will improve some Fri and Fri night as high
pressure from the eastern U.S builds southwestward toward the
northern Gulf.
