Synopsis for the Gulf of America 1029 PM EDT Mon Oct 19 2026

SYNOPSIS
A weakening stationary front extends across the Straits of Florida to 23N90W and into the central Bay of Campeche. Fresh to locally strong northeast to east winds are across the basin, except for strong NW to N winds over the SW Gulf offshore Veracruz. The front will dissipate through Tue, and high pressure over the eastern U.S. will support moderate to fresh winds and moderate seas across the basin into the latter part of the week. Looking ahead, building high pressure over the eastern U.S. will support increased NE winds and building seas over the eastern Gulf Sat.
