Synopsis for the Gulf of America

428 PM EDT Sun Jun 7 2026



.SYNOPSIS...The gradient related to broad high pressure offshore 

the SE coast of the U.S. will generally support gentle to 

moderate east to southeast winds in the north-central and NE Gulf 

sections, and moderate to fresh east to southeast winds over most

of the western half of the basin through Mon night along with 

slight to moderate seas. Stronger western Atlantic ridging will

then expand westward across the northern Gulf starting on Tue

providing for mostly gentle to moderate east to southeast winds

throughout, except for mostly moderate to fresh speeds south of 

about 26N and west of 87W, and in the far southeastern Gulf 

section through Thu along with slight to moderate seas. A trough, 

or low pressure may emerge from the Yucatan Peninsula into the 

south central or southwestern portions of the Gulf, perhaps from 

late Thu through Fri night accompanied by numerous showers and 

thunderstorms along with fresh to strong winds and building seas. 

Elsewhere, a diurnal trough will move off the Yucatan Peninsula 

and into the eastern Bay of Campeche at night through Wed 

attendant by fresh to strong winds and slight to moderate seas.
