SYNOPSIS FOR THE GULF OF AMERICA
312 PM EDT THU OCT 1 2026
SYNOPSIS
AN UPPER-LEVEL LOW WILL PROMOTE SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE SE GULF TODAY, SPREADING TO
THE N GULF ON FRI AND SAT. A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL
INCREASE SE WINDS UP TO FRESH TO LOCALLY STRONG OVER THE E AND
CENTRAL GULF TONIGHT AND FRI. A WEAK COLD MOVING ACROSS TEXAS
WILL WEAKEN THE PRESSURE GRADIENT, ALLOWING THE WINDS ACROSS THE
GULF TO DIMINISH ON SAT AND SUN. ON SUN, THE FRONT WILL REACH THE
NW GULF, EXTENDING FROM ALABAMA TO JUST OFFSHORE THE TEXAS-
MEXICO BORDER TO NEAR VERACRUZ ON MON MORNING. WINDS BEHIND THE
FRONT SHOULD ONLY BE N TO NE MODERATE TO LOCALLY FRESH.
