Synopsis for the Gulf of America
951 AM EDT Sat Sep 12 2026

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure centered over the NE Gulf will dominate
into the start of next week. Winds will pulse to fresh speeds
each night off the W Yucatan peninsula due to a diurnal trough
moving toward the SW Gulf. By Tue night, a building ridge over the
eastern United States and a frontal trough will combine to
increase winds to fresh to locally strong speeds and build seas
over the Gulf waters N of 23N into late next week.
