Synopsis for the Gulf of America
501 AM EDT Mon Apr 13 2026

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure centered over the western Atlantic extends
a ridge across Florida into the Gulf region. This system will maintain
moderate to fresh E to SE winds and mostly moderate seas through Fri.
Expect stronger winds to pulse across the SE part of the Gulf, including
the Florida Straits, through Tue, and off the Yucatan Peninsula each
night through Wed, driven by local effects associated with a thermal
trough.
