Synopsis for the Gulf of America
511 AM EDT Fri Oct 16 2026

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front moving through coastal Texas will enter
the far northwest Gulf today, reach from southwest Florida to the
central Bay of Campeche by late Sat, then stall and dissipate 
from the Florida Straits to the Bay of Campeche through the early 
part of next week. Gale force winds and rough to very rough seas 
will follow the front over the west- central Gulf by early Sat and
the southwest Gulf by Sat evening, and persist through Sun. Fresh
to strong winds and moderate to rough seas will follow the front 
elsewhere. Looking ahead, strong high pressure will build over the
lower Mississippi Valley in the wake of the front, promoting 
fresh to strong NE to E winds mainly over the eastern half of the 
Gulf through Tue.
