Synopsis for the Gulf of America

1050 AM EDT Fri Jun 12 2026



.SYNOPSIS...A broad area of low pressure has formed over the far 

southern Bay of Campeche and is producing disorganized showers 

and thunderstorms. The center of 1007 mb is located near 19.5N94W.

Environmental conditions are forecast to be only marginally 

conducive for development before the system moves inland over 

eastern Mexico late Saturday or Sunday. The system could re-emerge

over the northwestern Gulf on Tuesday and Wednesday while 

interacting with a frontal boundary, but there too, conditions are

only expected to be marginally conducive for any development. The

pressure gradient between the low pressure area and a ridge over 

the NE Gulf will support fresh to strong SE winds and moderate to

rough seas.
