Synopsis for the Gulf of America
1122 PM EDT Mon Oct 5 2026

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to locally strong N winds will follow a trough
along the E Mexican offshores through Tue. Weak surface ridging
over the NE Gulf will slowly shift eastward through late Tue
ahead of a front stalling over the northern Gulf through Wed
before it starts to weaken Wed night. Fresh NE to E winds and
building seas are forecast N of the front. Looking ahead, gradual
development of a low E of Tampico is becoming more likely, and a
a tropical depression is likely to form during the middle or
latter portion of the week. This system is expected to drift
eastward over the next few days, before it turns northward.
Regardless of development, fresh to locally strong winds and rough
seas are forecast over portions of Gulf Wed through Sat night.
Mariners should monitor the latest forecasts from the National
Hurricane Center.
