Synopsis for the Gulf of America
230 AM EDT Mon Apr 27 2026

.SYNOPSIS...The interaction between weak high pressure over the 
eastern Gulf and a trough that extends from along the coast of 
Mexico from Tampico to Veracruz will produce moderate to fresh 
southeast winds and moderate seas over the western half of the 
Gulf, and gentle to moderate winds with slight to moderate seas 
over the eastern part of the basin through early Wed. Elsewhere,
a diurnal trough will pulse moderate to fresh winds off the 
Yucatan Peninsula during the evenings through Fri night. Looking 
ahead, a cold front will enter the northern Gulf Wed night into 
Thu and reach from South Florida to central Texas by late Fri.
